About This Event

Kevin Bridges brings his acclaimed comedy tour "Here If You Need Me" to Manchester's O2 Apollo on Friday 21 August 2026 at 7pm, promising an evening of the Scottish comedian's signature storytelling and sharp observational humour. This is a must-see for comedy fans across the North West, as Bridges consistently delivers sold-out shows with his relatable, thoughtful material that touches on everyday life and current events.

The O2 Apollo Manchester is one of the city's most iconic entertainment venues, nestled in the heart of Ardwick with a rich history hosting world-class performers since 1938. The theatre's intimate yet grand atmosphere makes it the perfect setting for comedy, with excellent sightlines and acoustics that let every joke land perfectly from anywhere in the auditorium.

Getting to the O2 Apollo is straightforward – the venue is just a short walk from Ardwick train station and well-served by local buses. We'd recommend arriving early to soak up the pre-show buzz at one of the nearby bars and restaurants, and booking your tickets in advance as Kevin Bridges shows typically sell quickly in Manchester. Expect an unmissable night of laughter from one of Britain's finest comedians.
