About This Event

Kevin Bridges is bringing his latest stand-up comedy tour "Here If You Need Me" to Manchester's legendary O2 Apollo on Saturday 29 August 2026 at 7pm. The Scottish comic's sharp observational humour and relatable storytelling make this a must-see night out for anyone who appreciates quality live comedy. With Bridges' reputation for sold-out shows and his ability to connect with audiences, this is exactly the kind of evening that'll have you laughing all the way home.

The O2 Apollo Manchester is an iconic venue that's hosted everyone from The Beatles to modern comedy royalty, sitting right in the heart of the city centre on Stockport Road. The theatre's ornate interior and intimate atmosphere create the perfect setting for stand-up comedy, with excellent sightlines from virtually every seat in the house. It's a proper Manchester institution with real character and history seeping through every brick.

Getting to the Apollo couldn't be easier—it's just a short walk from Manchester Piccadilly train station or a quick hop on the tram. We'd recommend arriving early to grab a drink at one of the nearby bars and soak up the pre-show buzz. Expect a brilliant night of comedy that'll remind you exactly why live performance beats streaming every single time.
