We Need to Talk About … Kevin Bridges

Aged seventeen, Kevin Bridges walked on stage for the first time in a Glasgow comedy club and brought the house down. He only had a five-minute set but at that moment he discovered he really could earn a living from making people laugh.

Kevin began life as a shy, nerve-ridden schoolboy, whose weekly highlights included a cake-bombing attack by the local youths. Reaching his teens, he followed his true calling as the class clown, and was soon arrested for kidnapping Hugh Grant from his local cinema one Saturday night. This was a guy going somewhere - off the rails seeming most likely. This is the journey Kevin has taken to become one of the most-loved comedians of our time.
