‘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
‘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
'If you want to see the future of Scottish stand-up, then see Connor Burns live - while you can still get a
ticket'
