Connor Burns is bold, daring and reckless with latest show

‘Hilarious… he is fearless and it is wonderful…!’ ★★★★★  – The Scotsman

Connor Burns, one of the fastest rising names in comedy, premiers his brand-new show GALLUS* – a fiercely funny, no-nonsense hour from a performer renowned for his razor-sharp wit, jet-black cynicism, and undeniable stage presence.

Following the runaway success of his previous show 1994 – which sold over 10,000 tickets in his Edinburgh hometown – selling out his fringe run, extra shows due to demand and an extraordinary four additional shows at the city’s flagship Royal Lyceum Theatre. He also sold out two nights at The King’s Theatre during the Glasgow International Comedy Festival and toured across the UK, Europe and Australia.

GALLUS is Connor’s fourth solo show. A prolific joke writer whose lightning fast, razor-sharp wit combined with his signature single malt Scottish-level cynicism to help create the perfect storm of brilliant jokes performed by a disarming comedy powerhouse.

These achievements cement Connor’s status as a world-class comic: prolific, unfiltered, and bitingly observant. Armed with cutting one-liners, high-velocity punchlines, and bold insights into modern life, he delivers a show bursting with bravado, blistering honesty and a big heart.

Now also a major force on social media, Connor has supported Daniel Sloss on three continents, closed the Sydney Comedy Festival Gala at the iconic Opera House, performed an off-Broadway run as part of 2024’s New York Comedy Festival.

Winner of the prestigious international Fringe Encore Series in both 2025 and 2024, Connor’s stand up special “Vertigo”, is set for world-wide release in July on the 800LB Gorilla comedy label.

* Gallus: Traditional Scots dialect meaning Bold, Daring and Reckless.
