Kevin Bridges Is Back At The OVO Hydro On Tuesday 27 October, The Fifth Of 12 Glasgow Nights
Glaswegians who missed Kevin Bridges in September and at the start of October get 8 more chances, and the next is Tuesday. Here If You Need Me, his new show, comes back to the OVO Hydro this week for 2 nights, and doors open at 6:30pm on Tuesday 27 October, with Kevin on at 8pm and tickets from £42.25.
- Date: Tuesday 27 October 2026, with Thursday 29 October the second night this week.
- Doors: 6:30pm.
- Show: 8pm, finishing around 10:25pm.
- Venue: OVO Hydro, Exhibition Way, Glasgow G3 8YW.
- Tickets: £42.25 to £76.30 including the admin fee, with fulfilment fees on top, through the SEC and Ticketmaster.
- Age: strictly 14+, and the venue warns of swearing and adult content.
Facebook shows the Tuesday running 11:30am to 4pm, a time zone slip, and the OVO Hydro page has the UK times. Doors at 6:30pm and an 8pm start, with the 10:25pm finish the venue’s own estimate, confirmed 2 or 3 days before the show.
Twelve Hydro Nights In One Tour
The tour announcement in November 2025 had 6 Glasgow nights. The venue’s Facebook post now lists 12, so 6 more were added after the first lot sold:
- Friday 11 and Saturday 12 September.
- Saturday 3 and Sunday 4 October.
- Tuesday 27 and Thursday 29 October.
- Tuesday 3 and Wednesday 4 November.
- Sunday 15 and Tuesday 17 November.
- Wednesday 25 and Thursday 26 November.
Four of those have been and gone, so Tuesday is night 5 of 12, and the November dates are the ones with the most seats left. November prices match October’s, and the Hydro’s listing has every date on sale with no sold-out marks yet.
Belfast Has Made Him The O2’s Most Performed Comedian
Two weeks before Glasgow, Kevin was at The O2 Belfast for 2 sold-out shows, and the venue said that on Saturday he would reach 21 shows there across 5 tours, more than any other comedian in the building’s history. His first Belfast show was in 2012.
Glasgow has its own version of that number. Before this tour started he had played 63 sold-out shows across the Hydro and the SEC, and the promoter says that is the most by any performer in the venue’s history. Add this year’s 12, and he will have passed 75 by the end of November.
Here If You Need Me Started In Sheffield And Ends In Aberdeen
The tour was announced on 28 November 2025 with 44 dates, and it has grown since. It opened at Sheffield City Hall on 14 August and finishes at P&J Live in Aberdeen on 10 and 11 December. The dates still to come after Glasgow this week include:
- Liverpool, M&S Bank Arena, 31 October.
- Nottingham, Motorpoint Arena, 1 November.
- Dublin, 3Arena, 6 to 8 November.
- Leeds, First Direct Arena, 19 November.
- Birmingham, Utilita Arena, 2 December.
- Brighton, Dome, 4 and 5 December.
- Bournemouth, BIC Windsor Hall, 6 December.
The tour page carries press quotes from his last tour, The Herald’s “a comedy masterclass” and The Guardian’s “masterful stuff”, so they say nothing about the new show.
What A Ticket Costs For Two
The Hydro’s prices with the admin fee in:
- Cheapest seat: £42.25
- Top standard seat: £76.30
- Venue Premium: £71.10 to £94.85
- Two people in the cheapest seats: £84.50, plus the fulfilment fee at checkout
The Hydro caps it at 8 tickets per person. The arena is next to Exhibition Centre station, 2 stops from Glasgow Central on the Argyle line, and the SEC car parks can be pre-booked online by drivers.
