A Canadian comedian in the UK hilariously describes the eternal bap, barm, roll dilemma

Just because Canadian comedian Kevin Finn has an Irish mum and a Liverpool-raised dad, it doesn’t mean his move to the UK hasn’t occasionally been a minefield of cultural differences.

However, his confusion over what to call a bread roll is as British as it gets.

He explained his problem in this hilarious TikTok.

@kevofinn Why is everything so complicated! Its BREAD 😭😂 #uk #ukcomedy #britishhumour #britishcomedy #accents #accentchallenge #cafe #bread #fypシ #fyp #canadian ♬ Monkeys Spinning Monkeys

At least he didn’t get a cob on.

Commenters from both sides of the pond empathised.

I am a Canadian living in the UK. The first year is rough. 😂 Nothing makes sense.

I’m a Brummie, I was in Essex and and asked for half a dozen crusty cobs. I was presented with six FULL loaves of bread! I feel your pain. 😂

The name for a bread roll changes every 5 miles and everyone acts like they’ve NEVER heard another name for it 😂

mach threw another problem into the mix.

Even when we agree on the name we don’t agree on the name. Go somewhere and ask for a scone.

Nobody mention Jaffa Cakes.

If TikTok isn’t your thing, you can follow Kevin on Instagram and Facebook, or find out where you can see him out in the real world via his website.
