Kevin Bridges: What's The Story?

Aged just 25, Clydebank comedian Bridges has already been honing his craft for eight years and become one of our fastest-rising stand-up stars. This hometown gig before 10,000 fans at a sold-out SECC arena shows why, covering everything from Lady Gaga and clothes shopping to his relationship with his father. His routine on the differences between Brits and Americans is particularly rafter-raising.

He plays five-a-side football with a friend who fled tragedy in Africa to start a new life in Scotland, considers the country's reputation for violence with the director and actor Peter Mullan and discusses where he might be today had he not become a comedian. Jack Dee also makes an appearance to discuss religion. Varied and absorbing.
