Connor Burns continues mammoth UK tour

Connor Burns, one of the fastest rising names in comedy, is about to embark on the second leg of his brand-new show, Gallus. Calling in at London’s Leicester Square Theatre and Brighton’s Komedia, it’s 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, adding extra shows due to demand and offering 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.  

Connor Burns said: “Scots have a failsafe way of making sure their kin don’t get too full of themselves- they cut them down to size at every opportunity. But if an outsider was to attack you, they’d defend you to the death. As a Scottish comedian I dance on that razor of wanting to blow up the room, but always checking over my shoulder to see if I might just be getting too cocky. Gallus”

Gallus is Connor’s fourth solo show. A prolific joke writer whose lightning-fast, razor-sharp wit is combined with a 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 worldwide release in July on the prestigious 800LB Gorilla comedy label.

Connor Burns brings Gallus to London’s Leicester Square Theatre on Sat 25 Oct 2025, Brighton’s Komedia on Sun 22 March and London’s Leicester Square Theatre on Fri 27 March 2026, as part of a UK tour.
