Scotland's most promising new comedian will give an exclusive Edinburgh performance at the Scott + Co Scottish Legal Awards lunch and ceremony which takes place next month.

Kevin Bridges, one of the UK's hottest new comedians and guest star of BBC's Mock the Week, has confirmed that he will perform to an audience of some 400 guests at the lunch and awards ceremony which takes place at the EICC.

His performance is a major coup for organisers as this event will be his only Edinburgh show despite a UK tour, which starts in April in Hull and finishes in his home town of Glasgow where he will perform for 10,000 fans.

Bridges, who hosted a sell-out run at the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe Festival and earned and Edinburgh Comedy Award nomination for Best Newcomer, has appeared on BBC ONE's Live at the Apollo and Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow.

Joy Glass, Partner at Scott+ Co, the sponsors of the Scottish Legal Awards, said: "Pundits predict that 2010 will be Kevin's year so we're delighted to secure him for the Legal Awards.

"He's had an astonishing rise to prominence and is guaranteed to give the Legal Awards a lot of fun and laughter as we reveal our winners in this important competition."

Bridges will be introduced on stage by master of ceremonies, Dougie Vipond, who returns to the event for a second year.

The Scottish Legal Awards competition is the national programme for recognising excellence in Scottish Law. Winners from 21 firms will be announced at the event and finalists include Burness, Biggart Baillie, Brodies are joined by HBJ Gateley Wareing, Morton Fraser, Harper Macleod, Digby Brown and Anderson Strathern. Complementing the field, a number of smaller firms have also been recognised with Miller Samuel, Maloco + Associates and Govan Law Centre also making an appearance.
