connor burns: 1994

The UK’s meteoric new stand-up star, Connor Burns, brings 1994, his third solo hour, to New York. A prolific joke writer, his native Scottish-eye-view and a razor-sharp, self-deprecating wit has seen his fanbase explode.

Connor arrives fresh from an extraordinary 2024 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, where he sold nearly 10,000 tickets and was awarded a New York run of 8 shows 12 – 17 November as part of the Soho Playhouse’s Fringe Encore Series. He is further honoured that this season is officially part of the 2024 New York Comedy Festival and it is a highlight of his incredible 100+ date British, Australian and European tour to be able to perform this week of shows.

Fellow Scottish comic Daniel Sloss has said: 'If you want to see the future of Scottish stand-up, then see Connor Burns live - while you can still get a ticket!’

Connor is delighted to make his solo debut at the Soho Playhouse as part of the New York Comedy Festival.

What the UK press have said:
‘There is a great comedy talent at work here…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. Superb!.’ ★★★★ The List

‘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 was the chance to have that feeling watching local boy Connor Burns become the next big comedy act out of Scotland.’ Daily Record
