Connor Burns: Flow

Connor Burns: Flow

6 Aug 2026 - 30 Aug 2026

Last year, Edinburgh born and bred CONNOR BURNS became Scotland's undisputed new international breakthrough stand-up star, with his 4th solo show "GALLUS" selling out 34 performances during the month of August and later adding additional encore shows in the city on tour due to the extraordinary demand for more tickets. In total he sold more than 12,000 seats in Edinburgh alone, a feat then followed by his packing out five more shows at the Glasgow Kings Theatre. In both 2024 and 2025 he toured across the UK as well as all over Australia, adding two consecutive off-Broadway runs in the Fringe Encore Series during New York's prestigious Comedy Festival to his achievements. He has tens of millions of online views, has supported Daniel Sloss on 3 continents, released his debut hour-long special and won 2025's Forth Fringe Award. 2026 already looks set to be even bigger and more exciting with Connor's fifth hour long show "FLOW" set to have its world premiere at the Fringe. Connor will perform a full run at Just the Tonic as well as an extra show in the capital's flagship 3000 seat Edinburgh Playhouse Theatre on Saturday 22 August. ‘Burns has arrived… An authentic Scottish voice. And a gallus one at that.’ ★★★★ (Entertainment Now)
