SCOTS comedy superstar Kevin Bridges wowed Glasgow as his mammoth 100-date tour landed back home.

Louisa Millar tweeted: "I am so buzzing for Kevin Bridges."

One fan who decided not go Clint Conlin said: "Just sold my Kevin Bridges Tickets for above face value. I started to feel bad but I've got mouths
to feed...!"
Before he arrived on stage, there was an advert for his new live DVD available on November 23, which has yet to be shot.

Earlier Bridges tweeted: "Doors about to open for the first Hydro show! Let's go Glasgow!"
Bridges' A Whole Different Story tour started in June in Leeds before visiting towns and cities across the country and finishing in Douglas on the Isle of Man.
Scotland's biggest modern comedy export dubbed as "brilliant" by one of his comedy idols, Billy Connolly has had an astonishing rise to success since he broke onto the scene when he was nominated as Best Newcomer at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2009.
His 2012 tour, Kevin Bridges - The Story Continues… smashed box office records selling a staggering 45,000 tickets on the first day.
