Comic Kevin Bridges is laughing all the way to the bank after raking in £1 million last year.

New official figures from the stand up's personal company show how his massive success has boosted his bank balance.

Bridges, 28, started performing in Glasgow clubs as a teenager before moving on to sell-out tours and a string of television appearances.

Annual 2014 accounts for his company El Tiburon - Spanish for 'The Shark' - has total assets of £950,000.

The company owes just £129 to unnamed creditors leaving Bridges with shareholder funds of £949,871.

Bridges' second company Dip and Chip - which has yet to file accounts for 2014 - has more than Pounds 4.2 million held in the bank.

That firm, set up in 2012, is named after one of his most famous routines about American students eating dip and chip snacks at Chad Hogan's party.

Bridges, from Clydebank, is the sole director of the companies and owns all the shares in them.

A source said: "These are a phenomenal set of figures and show Kevin is on his way to becoming one of the country's richest comedians.

"His popularity and the fact there is not a lot of production costs involved in his shows means he can earn a huge amount of money from touring.

"He is being financially savvy by channelling his earnings through a company and is obviously getting good advice."

As well as touring, DVDs and TV shows, the comic has also earned cash through selling his own-branded merchandise.

Last year, he had his name officially registered as a trademark to protect his money-spinning image rights.

He is currently about to embark on a huge UK tour which will see him perform 16 sell-out gigs at Glasgow's Hydro arena.

Bridges has told how he has already splashed out with some of his earnings.

He recently bought a Pounds 1 million townhouse in the west end of Glasgow and a luxury boat which he uses for regular trips around Loch Lomond with friends.

However, he has insisted he is not comfortable with a wealthy lifestyle and told how he returned a designer jacket because it cost the same as his mum's weekly wage.

He said: "I went into this designer shop and bought a jacket for, like, Pounds 280. Then I started to think, 'My mum's a home help and that's a week's wages.' I went back into the shop and I was returning it.

"The guy looked at the receipt and it was only 17 minutes after I'd bought it.

"So I was going, 'Oh aye, I tried it on again and it didn't fit.' I was starting to go a bit red. I just wanted to get the money back so I could go.

"You know you get R&B stars that make a bit of money and they'll go and buy hunners of motors?

"I could never imagine being like that. As soon as I bought the jacket I thought, 'What am I doing? I'm a comedian, I'm supposed to be the underdog, I shouldn't be dressed like this'. Seventeen minutes it lasted. I had 17 minutes of glamour. A 17-minute celebrity."
