About This Event

Kevin Bridges brings his latest comedy tour "Here If You Need Me" to Manchester on Thursday 20 August 2026, promising an evening of the Scottish comedian's signature storytelling and observational humour. This is a brilliant chance to catch one of the UK's most popular stand-up comedians in an intimate setting, where his warm, relatable material about everyday life really shines through.

The O2 Apollo Manchester is an iconic venue that's been hosting world-class entertainment since 1938, and it remains one of the city's most prestigious concert and comedy halls. Situated on Oxford Street in the heart of Manchester city centre, the Apollo sits in a buzzing cultural quarter surrounded by bars, restaurants, and independent shops, making it easy to turn your evening into a full night out.

Getting to the Apollo is straightforward – it's a short walk from Piccadilly Gardens or Manchester Piccadilly train station, with plenty of nearby car parks if you're driving. Doors open at 19:00, so aim to arrive early to soak in the venue's classic atmosphere and grab a drink from the bar. Expect two hours of top-quality comedy in a beautiful historic setting that's perfect for an unforgettable night out in Manchester.
