It’s one we’ve all been waiting for as Kevin Bridges has announced he’ll be back on tour for 2022 with his hotly-anticipated new show.
‘The Overdue Catch-Up’ will welcome audiences in to the mind of one of the sharpest comedy talents the UK has to offer.
TheShowbizlion.com has always loved Bridges flair for observation and his cheeky wit, not to mention his down to earth manner.
He is one seriously funny guy.
With a career spanning an incredible 18 years, Kevin Bridges already has the life experience of a man twice his age, helping him to hit the nail on the head with his shrewd outlook on the modern world.
Kevin said: “Since we last spoke, a lot has changed in my life and - as we know - in this world of ours, but what hasn’t changed is the fact that a crowd of people in a room together having a laugh usually makes for a fairly pleasant evening. I’m excited to be back out doing stand-up again and I’m looking forward to seeing you all - and some new people too. Simple as that. I’ll see you up there, down there, over there, anywhere and wherever. Enjoy yer night”.
