Scottish comedy superstar Kevin Bridges is gearing up for one of his most ambitious tours yet, with a massive return to arenas across Scotland in 2026. The Clydebank-born comedian, loved nationwide for his sharp observational humour and warm, relatable storytelling, has officially announced his “Here If You Need Me” tour—an extensive series of dates that will see him perform in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen, and multiple cities across the UK and Ireland.

Bridges, who has become a household name in British comedy, last stepped onstage in Aberdeen in 2022 during his Overdue Catch-Up tour. That run didn’t just draw huge crowds—it cemented him as the highest-selling act in the history of P&J Live, attracting more than 39,000 fans across four sold-out shows. His long-standing relationship with Scotland’s biggest arenas has made him a consistent record-setter, with an astonishing 63 sell-out performances at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro and SEC venues—more than any artist has achieved at the venue.

The funnyman has a long history with Aberdeen audiences, having also delivered major shows there in 2015 and 2018. Now, he’s set to return in December 2026 for two nights that are expected to sell out quickly.

Event organisers say his comedic style—rooted in everyday experiences, social observations, and Scottish wit—continues to resonate deeply with fans across generations. His ability to blend humour with humanity has long secured his place as one of the most beloved performers in the UK.

Bridges’ influence stretches far beyond Scotland. In 2024 and 2025, he embarked on his first North American tour, performing to more than 40,000 people and wrapping up with a completely sold-out finale at New York’s iconic Beacon Theatre. His American debut was widely praised, with fans across the Atlantic responding to his unique Scottish humour and fearless storytelling.

Despite the success abroad, sources close to the comedian say he’s thrilled to be returning home for an extended run of shows. “He went down brilliantly in the US, but there’s nothing like a Scottish crowd,” a source revealed. That excitement is reflected in the scale of his 2026 tour, which includes a remarkable 13 Scottish dates and dozens more across the UK and Ireland.

The Scottish leg of the tour alone features several nights at the OVO Hydro, five consecutive dates at the Edinburgh Playhouse, and two highly anticipated nights at Aberdeen’s P&J Arena on December 10 and 11, 2026.

Fans eager to secure seats won’t have to wait long. Presale access opens first to select networks, followed by venue and Ticketmaster presales, before general tickets go live. If past tours are anything to go by, demand will be extremely high, with further dates likely to be added.

Beyond stand-up, Bridges continues to expand his creative footprint. He is the author of the Sunday Times bestseller We Need to Talk About… Kevin Bridges and has also released a debut novel, The Black Dog, which has been widely acclaimed.

With more than two million tickets sold across previous tours, Kevin Bridges has undoubtedly built a comedic empire—one that continues to grow with every stage he steps on. His 2026 “Here If You Need Me” tour promises to be another milestone moment in a career defined by record-breaking performances and an unshakeable connection with audiences.
