Kevin Bridges finds fresh angles in familiar stand-up, despite a £10 cloakroom fee
Kevin Bridges’s new tour, *Here If You Need Me*, is a consistently funny 75-minute set built on familiar stand-up subjects, from family life and nostalgia to internet habits and politics. The review praises his seemingly effortless delivery and argues that beneath his traditional, blunt style are sharp social observations and an open-minded outlook.
The show includes comic impressions of Donald Trump and a joke about Benjamin Netanyahu, as well as routines about nursery graduations, early internet downloads, teaching his mother to use technology and arguments with his wife. Some material treads well-worn ground, but the reviewer says Bridges finds fresh angles in it, including a closing routine about the super-rich. The review also complains about being charged £10 to leave a small bag in the Hammersmith Apollo cloakroom.
