Overview & what to expect

Kevin Bridges returns to Liverpool with his brand-new UK and European tour, Here If You Need Me. One of the undisputed heavyweights of British stand-up comedy, Bridges is renowned for selling out entire arena runs with his unmatched observational wit, sharp social commentary, and effortless rapport.

Performing on Halloween night at the M&S Bank Arena, Bridges tackles modern British culture, ageing, parenthood, politics, and the absurdity of contemporary life with trademark Scottish cynicism and warmth.

With earlier tour dates selling out within hours across the UK, this single Liverpool performance is one of the most anticipated comedy gigs in the city for 2026.
