From one of the most exciting emerging new stars in the UK’s live stand-up scene,1994 is Edinburgh native’s Connor Burns third solo hour. A prolific joke writer, his Scottish-level cynicism and self-deprecation punctuates a disarmingly relaxed persona and an intelligent, razor-sharp wit.
Connor’s burgeoning reputation as “one to watch” was cemented at the 2023 Fringe when he sold out his entire run two months before the festival started. An additional 9 shows (2000 seats) were added – which also sold out, with audiences even queuing for returns. The Daily Record called it when they wrote: “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.”
In addition to being in demand at the UK’s top comedy clubs and his solo touring career taking off, Connor has opened for Larry Dean in the UK and for Daniel Sloss in the UK, Australia as well as at the premiere show of 2023’s New York Comedy Festival. He performed a solo run of Vertigo off-Broadway in NYC and filmed the show for release, closed the Sydney Comedy Festival Gala at the Sydney Opera House, and even taped a Just For Laughs set in the landmark venue. Connor will tour globally throughout 2024-2025
We are delighted to welcome Connor and his new show to The Tolbooth Stirling. If like us, you love live stand-up, then we recommend you check out this fantastic comedian and budding superstar early days – while you can still get a ticket!
