Kevin Bridges, the observational genius and one of Scotland’s most successful stand-up comedians, is set to return to the stage in 2026 with a brand-new tour: ‘Here If You Need Me’. Known for his warmly relatable, keenly observed humour and his ability to sell out the largest arenas, Bridges’ return is highly anticipated by his massive global fan base.
Since his early appearances on shows like Mock the Week, Bridges has transitioned from a promising young talent to a comedy powerhouse. His previous tours, including ‘Overdue Catch-Up’ (2022), ‘Brand New Tour’ (2018), and ‘A Whole Different Story’ (2015), have consistently shattered box office records. Collectively, these tours have drawn over two million fans worldwide, cementing his reputation as a crowd favourite.
A true testament to his popularity in his home nation is his unprecedented success at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro and SEC venues, where he has performed an extraordinary 63 sold-out shows, marking the most by any performer in the venue’s history. These achievements have earned him multiple accolades, including Ticketmaster’s UK Ticket of the Year.
The years leading up to the 2026 tour have seen Bridges significantly expand his reach across the Atlantic. In 2025, he successfully launched his debut North American Tour, performing to more than 40,000 people and culminating in a sold-out show at the iconic Beacon Theatre in New York. This expansion demonstrates the universal appeal of his down-to-earth storytelling and hilarious perspective on modern life and culture.
The new tour, ‘Here If You Need Me’, promises to maintain the masterful quality audiences have come to expect. Reviewers and critics often praise his comedy for its sharp wit and insightful edge, which manages to be both profoundly funny and deeply human.
For fans eager to experience his latest material live, the initial dates for the ‘Here If You Need Me’ tour are already garnering immense excitement. The Aberdeen leg of the tour, featuring two dates at the P&J Live, is an early indicator of the demand.
- Presale Access: Presale tickets often go live first for customers of specific mobile providers and for venue newsletter subscribers. For the Aberdeen shows, this includes Three mobile customers and P&J Live subscribers.
- General Sale: Tickets for the general public are typically released shortly after the presale period.
Fans are strongly advised to mark their calendars and secure their spots quickly, as Kevin Bridges’ tours are notorious for selling out at exceptional speeds. His return promises to be a highlight on the comedy calendar, offering audiences an evening with one of the most consistently brilliant and insightful comics of his generation.
