Stand-up comedy show by Kevin Bridges at Utilita Arena.
Kevin Bridges brings his stand-up show Here If You Need Me to Utilita Arena on Saturday 13 February 2027, with the performance starting at 6:30pm. It's a solo night, just Bridges on stage, and it's part of his latest tour.
If you've never seen him live, it helps to know where he comes from. Bridges cut his comedy teeth in Glasgow after leaving school at 17 and spent years performing around the UK. He made his TV debut at 18 on Channel 5's So You Think You're Funny at the Edinburgh Fringe, and by 2006 he was staging his first full-length solo show at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival. From there he became a regular on the comedy circuits we all know: Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow, Live at the Apollo, 8 out of 10 Cats and Mock the Week.
He's often billed as Scotland's comedy powerhouse, and the numbers back it up. He broke box office records with Overdue Catch-up in 2022, Brand New Tour in 2018 and A Whole Different Story in 2015, drawing more than two million fans across 63 sold-out Glasgow shows at the OVO Hydro and SEC — the most by any performer in the venues' history. In 2018, Brand New Tour picked up Ents24's 'Fastest Selling Ticket of the Year' and Ticketmaster's 'UK Ticket of the Year'.

He's not just a UK act, either. In 2025 he launched his debut North American Tour, playing to more than 40,000 people and closing with a sold-out show at New York's Beacon Theatre. Here If You Need Me is the next chapter after that, and it lands in Newcastle on Saturday 13 February 2027 at Utilita Arena, Arena Way, NE4 7NA. Tickets start from £42.75, and the show kicks off at 6:30pm.
