Connor Burns is one of the most exciting emerging acts on the Scottish comedy circuit in recent years.
Connor recently sold out his 2023 Edinburgh Fringe season which saw him add over 2,000 extra seats to what was only his second-ever Fringe and to universally rave reviews, plus an incredible 5 sold-out Glasgow Stand shows - don’t miss Scotland’s fastest rising comedy star’s brilliant new show - on tour!
In 2023 Connor sold-out multiple solo shows across Australia with a two-month tour where, on top of selling out his solo shows at the country’s comedy festivals, he opened for the international stand-up tour ‘Daniel Sloss: CAN’T’ as well as closed the Sydney Comedy Festival gala at the Sydney Opera House. In June Connor filmed his debut comedy special, “Vertigo” at the Glasgow Stand for future release. And in 2022 he toured Downunder an unprecedented three times in one year additionally taping a set in Sydney for the illustrious Just For Laughs Comedy Festival.
‘There is a great comedy talent at work here. The material is packed in like chips in a poke and Burns himself is genuinely likeable, with that straightforward delivery that reassures you there is a real person up there and that he is a great bloke… There is nothing he sets his comedic sights on that he misses… he is fearless and it is wonderful… hilarious!’ The Scotsman (5 stars) ★★★★★
‘Brilliant… gags coming at you at a terrifying rate, with particularly eye-watering lines scattered liberally throughout. But what elevates Burns’ act is his sheer fearlessness… skilfully balanced and carefully pitched… he’ll go far.’ ★★★★ The List
‘Connor clearly has a brilliant comedy mind and he is already a hugely gifted stand-up. His understated stage presence and superb comic timing see him land punchline after punchline perfectly, and some sneaky set-ups for future callbacks are a delight when they reveal themselves... Impressive!’ ★★★★ Beyond the Joke
‘Just like seeing your favourite band for the first time, being at a stand-up show when you know they are about to hit the big time is an equally big thrill. And this Edinburgh Festival Fringe will be the chance to have that feeling watching local boy Connor Burns become the next big comedy act out of Scotland.’ Daily Record, 2023
