Kevin Bridges has opened up about his mental health battle and admits he even once considered quitting stand up. The Glasgow born comedian revealed he sought out the help of a therapist to help him cope with the pressures of fame.

The 35-year-old's book, The Black Dog, draws heavily on his own life, and a period seven years ago when he “considered quitting stand-up because I had stopped enjoying it”.Bridges began his comedy career in 2004 and went onto reach the final of Channel 4’s So You Think You’re Funny when he was just 18.

However, his profile rose rapidly and in 2015, he sold 500,000 tickets for a UK tour and his third DVD sold 30,000 copies in a week, outselling established acts such as Michael McIntyre and John Bishop.

Despite his successful career, he didn't feel feel happy as he told the Edinburgh International Book Festival, but the experience proved invaluable when he began to write during the lockdown. “[I thought] why don’t I draw on my experience of being someone who’s famous in the world of showbiz, who is experiencing burnout,” Bridges said.“After my 2015 tour I considered quitting stand-up because I had stopped enjoying it.

Like the queen, King Charles has kept his name. Why future monarchs could follow suit

King Charles III, just like his late mother Queen Elizabeth II, is keeping his given name despite the historical baggage associated with it.Charles Philip Arthur George, who acceded to the throne Thursday after the death of his mother, could have chosen another name to be used during his reign. King Charles III’s name loaded with history But his decision to retain his birth name comes as no surprise, royal observers and historians say.“He’s quite comfortable in his own skin, his own name and his own identity,” said Keith Roy, a spokesperson for the Monarchist League of Canada.“His own reputation is strong enough that he can maintain his name,” he told Global News.As the longest-serving heir to the British throne, Charles has been in the public eye for as long as he’s been alive, so a name change at this point in his life would’ve been “quite jarring” according to Roy.The last time a British monarch changed their name was in 1936, when Queen Elizabeth II’s father, who was born Albert Frederick Arthur George and called Bertie by friends and family, chose King George VI as his title to honour the memory of his father, King George V.
