MZA Presents Connor Burns - VERTIGO At Edinburgh Fringe
Connor's Scottish-level cynicism and self-deprecation punctuates a disarmingly relaxed persona and an intelligent, razor-sharp wit.
MZA presents Connor Burns - VERTIGO. From one of the most exciting emerging new stars in the live stand-up scene, VERTIGO is Connor's second solo show, featuring punchline-packed tales of ugly dogs, relationships and the inevitable family drama. Hilarious, relatable, a bit rude in places perhaps and always served with a brilliant delivery for proper belly laughs. A prolific joke writer, Connor's Scottish-level cynicism and self-deprecation punctuates a disarmingly relaxed persona and an intelligent, razor-sharp wit.
Following on from his understated yet superbly successful 2022 fringe debut in a 60 seat room, Connor's burgeoning reputation as “one to watch” has seen him already add 8 extra performances to his 2023 Edinburgh Fringe season (in a 110 seater this time), barely a week after the programme launched. He premiered VERTIGO at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival and has to date sold out 5 performances at the Glasgow Stand, with more dates being added as part of his debut UK tour in the autumn of 2023.
Connor has also sold-out multiple solo shows across Australia, touring Down Under an unprecedented three separate times just in 2022 alone. In addition to his solo tour shows, he has supported Larry Dean and Daniel Sloss in the UK, also opening for Sloss in several very large Australian theatres and he closed the Sydney Comedy Festival Gala at the Sydney Opera House. He has taped a set for Just For Laughs while in Sydney, being shortlisted for their prestigious Montreal “New faces” line-up in 2023 as a result.
