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.
Rick Fulton, Daily Record, 5th March 2011Jon Richardson interview
Stand Up For The Week is the first regular show I've done and it's straight stand-up - I wanted my first regular TV thing to be stand-up.

British Comedy Guide, 11th August 2010Patrick Kielty steps out with statuesque blonde
Most men would be happy to be seen with a gorgeous and willowy blonde on their arm. But for some reason, Patrick Kielty didn't look too impressed to be caught on camera as he was snapped out with his girlfriend in London last night.
Georgina Littlejohn, Daily Mail, 25th July 2010I won't stand-up for Stand Up For The Week
I just watched an episode of Stand Up For The Week. Clearly I have some sado-masochistic tendencies that I was never previously aware of.
James W Smith, Chortle, 21st July 2010Backstage at Stand Up For The Week
Stand Up For The Week has been a throughly refreshing addition to our telly boxes over the past six weeks or so.
Tommy Holgate, The Sun, 20th July 2010Dawn of the Dead
If you didn't know any better you would think that live comedy around the UK was as unimaginative as its TV counterpart.
Harry Deansway, The Fix, 9th July 2010Patrick Kielty MCs more topical, edgy humour tonight from Rich Hall, Jack Whitehall, Andi Osho and Kevin Bridges. And another masochistic celebrity guest braves The Chair - the 21st century equivalent of the stocks. Except, instead of being pelted with rotten fruit and veg, they're subjected to a tsunami of verbal abuse that stops just short of having their head pushed down the toilet.
This week it's Peter Shilton, who'll be hoping for an easier ride than Lembit Opik got last week. Don't be fooled by Kielty's blandly angelic appearance. This isn't the same Patrick Kielty who fronted Fame Academy, Love Island and The National Lottery's Big Ticket. The Patrick Kielty on this show is his ruder, cruder and utterly merciless identical evil twin.
