The comedy legend's current run at the Hydro finishes on Sunday, September 25.

He was presented with the award backstage on Thursday night as the incredible run nears a close.

Kevin's award also kicks off a new awards programme from the SEC which recognises the best in live entertainment. 

Debbie McWilliams, SEC’s Director of Live Entertainment said: "It is always a pleasure to welcome Kevin back to the SEC, and this year more so than most as he reaches this significant milestone.

"It is fitting that homegrown talent is the recipient of our first Platinum Artist award.

"Kevin now paves the way for other artists to be recognised with this new award."
