About Kevin Bridges
Kevin Bridges (born Kevin Andrew Bridges on 13 November 1986) is a Scottish stand-up comedian. He has appeared on many television panel shows, including Would I Lie to You? and Have I Got News for You, and has performed on Live at the Apollo and Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow. His 2012 television series Kevin Bridges: What's the Story? was based on his stand-up routines.
Bridges began performing on stage when he left school shortly after turning 17, doing stand-up gigs at The Stand Comedy Club in his hometown of Glasgow and then throughout the UK, inspired by reading Frank Skinner's autobiography. At 18, he reached the final of Channel 5's So You Think You're Funny competition at the Edinburgh Fringe. In 2006, he performed his first full-length solo show at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival to a sold-out audience. His first mainstream television break came on 5 June 2009 on BBC One's Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, watched by over five million viewers, and he was nominated for the 2009 Edinburgh Comedy Awards in the best newcomer category.
Bridges's debut DVD, Kevin Bridges: The Story So Far... Live in Glasgow, was released in November 2010 and sold over 350,000 copies. His 2012 tour The Story Continues broke box office records, and his 2015 tour A Whole Different Story saw him sell over 500,000 tickets across 145 dates. After becoming disillusioned with stand-up, he took a sabbatical and moved to Spain, returning in 2018 with The Brand New Tour, which included a record 19 sold-out nights at The Hydro. He has sold more tickets for the Scottish Event Campus than any other solo artist, and was the first comedian to top Ticketmaster's annual Ticket of the Year poll.
