Product Information

The tour saw Bridges sell over 500,000 tickets across 145 dates, including 16 sell out shows at The Hydro in his home city of Glasgow. This hometown gig shows off his no nonsense approach to comedy as he cuts through the niceties with Glaswegian charm to reveal the next chapter of his epic comedic journey.

Bridges follows in the footsteps of Billy Connolly and Daniel Sloss, who have previously released stand-up shows in cinemas. Filmed at the sold-out Glasgow SECC Arena, Kevin's unique social commentary and sharp-one liners arguably make him the hottest act to come out of Scotland in the last decade. Cover Notes: Kevin Bridges is back and funnier than ever with his hotly anticipated new show from his sold-out international live tour! Bridges has also said he wants to try his hand at acting, explaining: ‘I’d love to be in something, even just a small part, just to see how it’s done.

Speaking on Radio 2, he said: ‘A couple of people have approached me about turning the book into some kind of comedy series. With a career spanning an incredible 19 years, Bridges already has the life experience of a man twice his age, helping him to hit the nail on the head with his shrewd and hilarious outlook on the modern world. The sold-out international tour welcomes audiences into the mind of one of the sharpest comedy talents the UK has to offer, with Kevin hitting the nail on the head with his shrewd and hilarious outlook on the modern world. Moving into bigger venues every year, Bridges sold out his hometown festival in 2007, 2008 and 2009.

I've always been a big fan of stand up comedy and the escape it offers from day to day life, and unfortunately there doesn't seem to have been too much on offer lately. In the third special, Kevin Bridges: What's The Story – Referendum Special, Bridges took to the streets gathering grassroots opinions from across Scotland and beyond about the referendum. Bridges appeared in Rab C Nesbitt in the first episode of the new series in 2010, on Mock the Week in February 2010, and has appeared twice in Would I Lie To You? In 2006, Bridges performed his first full-length solo show at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival, to a sold-out audience and much critical acclaim.
