The comic autobiography of 2014 A comedian's autobiography? I
wonder if he's ever used humour to deflect from his insecurities?
To avoid being bullied? Is there heartache behind the humour? I
wonder if he's a manic-depressive? Tears of a clown? Yes, all of
that. Discover the hilarious life-story of one of Britain's
best-loved comedians in Kevin Bridges' brilliant memoir. 'First of
all, I have never written a book before, you probably haven't
either, so there we have it; a connection is established between
reader and writer . . .' Aged just 17, Kevin Bridges walked on
stage for the first time in a Glasgow comedy club and brought the
house down. He only had a five-minute set but in that short time he
discovered that he really could earn a living from making people
laugh. Kevin began life as a shy, nerve-ridden school-boy, whose
weekly highlights included a cake-bombing attack by the local
youths. Reaching his teens, he followed his true calling as the
class clown, and was soon after arrested for kidnapping Hugh Grant
from his local cinema on a quiet Saturday night. This was a guy
going somewhere - off the rails seeming most likely. Kevin's
trademark social commentary, sharp one-liners and laugh-out-loud
humour blend with his reflections on his Glaswegian childhood and
the journey he's taken to become one of the most-loved comedians of
our time. '. . . Hopefully now you'll take this over to the till
and I can accompany you for the next wee while. That's the benefit
of book shops, reading the little bit and then deciding if the
author deserves to be part of your carefully selected 3 for 2 deal,
or part of your plane journey, train journey, your next bath, your
next shite.' Praise for Kevin Bridges: 'The Best Scottish Stand up
of his Generation.' The Scotsman 'A wonderfully dry and deadpan
Glaswegian comic . . . one the most exciting talents to have
emerged from Scotland since Billy Connolly' Guardian 'Kevin Bridges
might just become the best stand-up in the land . . . he will go
and deliver a one-liner that you want to jot down and frame' The
Times 'Wonderfully sharp, assured stand-up from the preternaturally
gifted young comic' Independent
