Who Kevin Bridges is

Kevin Bridges is a stand-up comedian who took to the circuit in 2004, shortly after his seventeenth birthday, and whose tours A Whole Different Story (2015), the Brand New Tour (2018) and The Overdue Catch-Up (2022) broke box-office records; his 63 sold-out shows at Glasgow's OVO Hydro and SEC are the most by any artist in the venue's history. He has released five stand-up specials, from The Story So Far to The Overdue Catch Up, made his North American debut in 2025 before more than 40,000 people across the United States and Canada, and in 2026 began Here If You Need Me, an arena tour of the UK and Ireland.

On television he has appeared on Live at the Apollo and The Jonathan Ross Show and fronted the BBC One series Kevin Bridges: What's the Story?, Kevin Bridges: Live at the Referendum and the 2026 BBC documentary Kevin Bridges: In Search of the Beautiful Game. He is also the author of the Sunday Times bestselling autobiography We Need to Talk About... Kevin Bridges and the novel The Black Dog.
