On behalf of the charity, the team at CRUK Byres Road Shop, who are now at the Anniesland branch, thanked the comedian for his kind gesture.
A message from staff read: “A huge big shout out to Kevin Bridges for dropping off some fancy claes at Anniesland CRUK shop, come down snap up his designer suits, worn on tour. Byres Road team are now at Anniesland shop. Kevin Bridges you are a legend. Thank you.”
Using the hashtag #clearoot, Bridges also posted a picture on Twitter of a stack of notebooks containing some of his comedy writing written over the last two decades.
He captioned the image: “Over 17 years of jokes. Some that made it and some that went off the rails. Some that will make it out one day... #clearoot.”
During the Euros 2020 Scotland v Czech Republic game on Monday, Bridges posted a picture of himself wearing a fitted Scotland top signed by Paul McStay, as he joked the former star was a "medium" size.
