Kevin Bridges has just revealed why he thinks fights broke out during his Glasgow shows last year.
During the run of Bridge's Overdue Catch-Up tour, which took place last September, a number of fights broke out at the city's OVO Hydro.
We previously reported that people were removed from the shows as a result of the commotion, and Kevin had to pause his routine a number of times.

Speaking on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show on Virgin Radio, he said: "I have done gigs where you are about to start the closing routine and you are thinking 'This has gone quite good, I'm almost home'.
"Then you just see a guy standing up and security walking over and you think 'Oh my God, there is going to be a fight here'.
"This has happened a lot in my last tour. There were three fights in the Glasgow run and then in Abu Dhabi in January there was a punch-up as well.
"I would rather get arrested in Glasgow than Abu Dhabi so I don't know what happened there.
"I think since Covid when there's a night out people are putting so much into the night. If the gig is at 8 o'clock they are meeting at 12 o'clock and they just start boozing."
