TICKETS go on sale Friday for Bankie comedian Kevin Bridges’ new tour next year.

The comic will be performing six dates at the SSE Hydro in October 2018 with his tour, titled Brand New.

Kevin broke records with his 2015 tour with 500,000 tickets sold across 145 dates, including 16 nights at the Hydro.

He said: “I’m delighted to announce that I will be back on the road in 2018. It’s been three years since my last tour - three tough years of watching the world fall apart.

“Thus, I’ve decided, I need to get out of the house more and lend a hand in saving it. With amusing anecdotes and witty observations I’m sure I can save the world or at least provide a decent enough night out. We’ll see. I’ll catch you there folks. Yaldy!”

Earlier this year, Kevin was chosen to perform for former US President Barack Obama during The Hunter Foundation’s charity dinner in Edinburgh.

Tickets go on sale online, from 10am on November 24.
