Kevin Bridges – Here If You Need Me
Get set for Kevin Bridges’ signature mix of honesty, sharp wit, and no-nonsense comedy. The Scottish powerhouse returns with a completely new show, bringing it to the first direct bank arena on Thursday 19 November 2026.
Kevin has spent years selling out arenas across the UK, thanks to his brilliantly relatable storytelling, sharp observations, and unique ability to turn everyday moments into laugh-out-loud gold. From his early breakthrough appearances on Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow to his record-breaking tours and bestselling memoir, he’s become one of the most trusted names in stand-up.
Expect clever punchlines, straight-talking humour, and that unmistakable delivery that has made Kevin one of the most consistently entertaining comedians of his generation.
Kevin Bridges live at the first direct bank arena promises a night packed with big laughs, quick wit, and stories only he can tell. This is a show you won’t want to miss.
