    Scottish stand-up comedian Connor Burns has cemented his status as one of comedy’s fastest-rising stars, following sell-out success at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and growing international acclaim.

    Scottish comedian Connor Burns has been hailed as one of the fastest-rising stars in UK comedy, following a hugely successful year on stage.

    Burns sold out his entire run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2025, adding extra performances to meet demand, while also gaining millions of views online through viral stand-up clips.

    He has since performed Off-Broadway, toured internationally, and appeared at major events including the New York Comedy Festival, earning praise from fellow comedians including Daniel Sloss.

    Known for his sharp, honest storytelling and relatable humour, Burns has built a loyal following without traditional TV exposure. His latest show, Gallus, is currently touring the UK, continuing his rapid rise on the comedy circuit.
