THE BLACK DOG is the exciting debut novel from one of Britain' s most-loved comedians, Kevin BridgesDeclan dreams of becoming a writer. It' s a dream that helps him escape the realities of his life - going through the motions at college and stacking supermarket shelves part-time, whilst fighting a battle with the ever-darkening thoughts in his head. He has his pet Labrador for companionship and his best friend-turned-mentor, a pseudo-intellectual who works as a greenskeeper at the local municipal golf course, both of which help keep the worst of his anxieties at bay. But following a drunken row with local gangsters, Declan' s worries threaten to spiral out of control. James Cavani - Declan' s idol and his hometown' s claim to fame - is a renowned writer, director and actor. But despite his success, his past hasn' t relinquished its hold of him, and through his younger sister' s battle with drug addiction, he finds himself returning to a world he thought he had escaped. At face value, their lives couldn' t be more different, but perhaps fate has a way of bringing kindred spirits together - and perhaps each holds the other' s redemption in their hands.
Having started performing stand-up in 2004 shortly after his seventeeth birthday, Kevin Bridges has ascended the ranks and is now regarded as one of the UK' s top comedians. He has made numerous television appearances on shows such as Live at the Apollo, The Jonathon Ross Show, Graham Norton Show and fronted his own BBC One series Kevin Bridges- What' s the Story and the stand-up special Kevin Bridges: Live At The Referendum. He has won multiple awards and performed four critically acclaimed, box office record-breaking tours. His most recent tour included a staggering nineteen-night run in his hometown of Glasgow' s twelve thousand capacity Hydro arena. Kevin has also released four chart-topping DVD' s and his 2014 autobiography, We Need to Talk about Kevin Bridges, was a Sunday Times bestseller. Kevin will return to the stage in 2022 with his latest stand-up show which will coincide with the release of his debut novel.
