Kevin Bridges: Here If You Need Me

Kevin Bridges is coming to the Bournemouth International Centre on Sunday 6 December, playing the BIC Windsor Hall. He's touring his new show, Here If You Need Me, which follows a string of record-breaking runs over the last few years: Overdue Catch-Up in 2022, Brand New Tour in 2018, and A Whole Different Story back in 2015. If you've followed him for a while, you'll recognise the pattern — a new title and a fresh set of material every few years.

He's one of the most successful stand-ups in the country. His past tours have drawn more than two million fans, and he's played 63 sold-out shows at Glasgow's OVO Hydro and SEC venues — the most by any performer in their history. The industry has noticed too: in 2018, he picked up Ents24's Fastest Selling Ticket of the Year and Ticketmaster's UK Ticket of the Year. Last year he took things across the Atlantic with his first North American tour, which drew more than 40,000 people and closed at New York's Beacon Theatre.

He's billed as Scotland's comedy powerhouse, and Here If You Need Me is the latest chapter in that. The Bournemouth show starts at 8:00pm, and tickets are from £44.50. One thing to keep in mind: the show is strictly for ages 14 and over, so it's not one for the younger ones.
