Connor Burns: Vertigo

About Connor Burns: Vertigo

Hot on the heels of Connor’s sold out 2023 Edinburgh Fringe season, which saw him add over 2,000 extra seats to what was only his second-ever Fringe and to universally rave reviews, plus an incredible 5 sold-out Glasgow Stand shows - don’t miss Scotland’s fastest rising comedy star’s brilliant new show - on tour!

In 2023 Connor sold-out multiple solo shows across Australia. A two-month tour saw him sell out solo shows at the country’s comedy festivals, open for the international stand-up tour ‘Daniel Sloss: CAN’T’ and close the Sydney Comedy Festival gala at the Sydney Opera House. In June, Connor filmed his debut comedy special, “Vertigo” at the Glasgow Stand for future release. And in 2022 he toured Down Under an unprecedented three times in one year, taping a set in Sydney for the illustrious Just For Laughs Comedy Festival.

VERTIGO is a punchline-packed show featuring submarines, relationships and the inevitable family drama. Hilarious, relatable, a bit rude in places and all-the-while served up with superb material, brilliant delivery and proper belly laughs.

We are delighted to welcome Connor's first UK tour. If like us, you love live comedy, then we recommend you check out this fantastic show. Support an exciting comedian and budding superstar early days - and remember where you saw him first!
