Kevin Bridges will host two shows for the BBC based around the upcoming Scottish referendum.

The Scottish stand-up will host 45-minute special Live at the Referendum from the Theatre Royal in Glasgow, which will feature a host of top comedians from across the UK. It will air in September.



Bridges will also head out onto the streets of Scotland for What's the Story - Referendum Special, where he will try to find out what the independence vote actually means to his fellow Scots.

The comedian is also hosting stand-up show Live at the Commonwealth on BBC One in July, which will be part of the Glasgow Commonwealth Games celebrations this summer.

"It's a huge year for Scotland with the referendum and the Commonwealth Games, the European Music Awards and the Ryder Cup," said Bridges.

"It's great to be asked to make these shows and find some comedy in it all. I'm looking forward to it."

BBC Scotland's Ewan Angus said: "Audiences love Kevin Bridges and we're delighted to offer up these shows as part of the BBC's huge range of output to mark Scotland's big year in 2014."
