Kevin Bridges has apologised to fans after losing his temper with a heckler at his show at the Glasgow Hydro.
Bridges lost his cool with the fan after he told the comic to “remember his roots” while asking him for a photograph during his sell-out show on Monday, November 16.
The Glasgow comic has agreed to have his picture taken with the man but told him to get back to his seat after he asked to come on stage.
Bridges said: “Remember my roots? F**k off. Do you think this is my roots? Pictures and people asking for selfies. That's all I hear every day: 'Kev, can I get a picture, give us a picture Kev.'
"People are not here to see you. The deal is you buy a ticket for the show, you don't buy me.
"What do you know about my roots?"
The Glasgow comic, who also asked an audience member to put away their phone when he spotted them filming the show on their mobile, later apologised to fans.
He said: “I’m sorry you had to see that. It’s been a long tour. I need a holiday.”
Bridges is currently in the middle of a 100 date UK tour. He will play the last of his 16 sold-out shows at the SSE Hydro this week.
