Comedian Kevin Bridges shows off lockdown haircut

The Scottish stand up has unveiled his new lockdown look

Kevin Bridges has shown off his new haircut for fans - and it’s safe to say a professional barber was not involved.

The 33-year-old has opted for a buzz cut, but has spared his fringe, drawing comparisons with infamous haircuts like Jim Carrey’s in the film Dumb and Dumber.

He shared an image of the fresh cut on Twitter, alongside the message: “Stay strong folks…”

Social media reaction

With 2,000 retweets and almost 33,000 likes, fans have found Bridges’ haircut an unexpected source of entertainment.

The Clydebank-born comedian’s hairstyle and unkempt beard have been compared to several of the main characters in Netflix’s smash hit documentary Tiger King.

Meanwhile Twitter user @oldylaa told Bridges that “all you need now is a slazenger trackie and a bottle of jack frost”.

Kevin Bridges has opted for a bold new look.

@Ghawkins7 wrote: “Absolute belter. Didn’t realise it was 1997”.

Kerry Bridges, the comedian’s own wife, posted: “Help!!!!”

@StevenFairlie likened the style to a “Ronaldo 98 cracker”.

Building Bridges

Kevin Bridges quickly became a sought-after name in British comedy after major success at the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

His 2017 stand up tour “A Whole Different Story” sold more than 500,000 tickets, and set box office records for the fastest-selling show in UK history.
