"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 (5 stars) ★★★★★

"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"- Daniel Sloss

“Vertigo. A sensation of whirling and loss of balance” - O.E.D.
