Bridges: I'm ditching booze ahead of 12-week filming

Making my way to meet Kevin Bridges at a West End pub in Glasgow at 10am, I feared the worst.

Bridges to host 'Stand Up For The Week'

Kevin Bridges has signed up to host the new series of Stand Up For The Week.

In the style of Mock The Week, with guests straight off Have I Got News For You and a format borrowed from that other topical debut of the week, 10 O'Clock Live, this new panel show has launched itself in an already overcrowded genre.

And with in-depth discussion of Jordan's latest failed marriage and in-depth handling of some stress-ball breasts, That Sunday Night Show clearly had its brows aimed significantly lower than any of the aforementioned shows.

In this episode, Kevin Bridges, Catherine Tate and John Prescott joined host Adrian Chiles to discuss everything from Ricky Gervais' performance at the Golden Globes to the suspension of the Education Maintenance Allowance for young people, as the emollient Max Clifford and Piers Morgan were wheeled on to comment.

But if the range of topics covered was impressive, the profundity with which they were discussed was something else, as the time constraints of the show allowed only for a cursory glance to be cast over each of the subjects.

So, with the comedy already covered on 10 O'Clock Live, interviews carried out competently on Piers Morgan's latest venture and the serious stuff sorted by Have I Got News For You, can there really be any place for this slapdash and skin-deep attempt from ITV? Unless it changes its tack, this show will find itself superfluous to requirements pretty quickly.

Kevin Bridges, rising star of the comedy circuit, heads up Live at the Apollo tonight. The Glaswegian presents his dry, sardonic take on Scottish life, celebrity and the media with witty aplomb. Impressive, considering he's still in his early twenties. Joining him is Jack Whitehall and Shappi Khorsandi.

Funny Scot Kevin Bridges hosts this week's stand-up show. He's a capable compere with a honed routine on dads, specifically the point at which children realise theirs is a bit of a twit. (Bridges uses a different word, but we'll assume that you're reading this before the watershed.) Tonight's guests are Iranian-born comic Shappi Khorsandi, who uses her recent marriage breakdown to fuel a short, sharp routine on divorce, but the big laughs come from comedian number two, self-confessed posh boy Jack Whitehall. There's a whiff of Russell Brand about the south-west Londoner. He spits out a frantic, furious anecdote about going to school with Robert Pattinson (lead vampire in the Twilight films) and it's hilarious.
