Scottish comedian Kevin Bridges performs two warm-up shows in York ahead of his UK tour 'Here if you Need Me'.
Kevin Bridges is playing the Grand Opera House on Saturday 8 August, one of two warm-up shows he's doing in York before he heads out on his UK tour, Here If You Need Me. It's a bit of a particular way to see a comedian: he's on stage with new material he's still working through, rather than the polished, tight set you'll get when the full tour is in swing. If you've seen him before, you know the sort of thing he does — observational, dry, and usually built around the small, absurd things that happen in everyday life — and that's what'll be taking shape here.
Because these are warm-up dates, the set is less about a finished product and more about the process of getting there. He'll be testing out new bits, seeing what lands and what doesn't, and figuring out how to sharpen the timing before the tour properly kicks off. It's a different kind of night than a headline show: you're in the room while the material is still being worked on, and the set can change from one night to the next as he tweaks things on the fly. If you're a fan of his, it's a chance to hear the new stuff before it's fully set in stone.
