Connor Burns

Don’t miss the all-new show from Scotland’s hilarious new stand-up superstar who is widely hailed as one of the most exciting breakthrough artists on the global live comedy scene.

A social media sensation with hundreds of millions of online views, FLOW is Connor's fifth solo show – an hour of new stand-up featuring his intelligent and razor-sharp wit, brilliant jokes and his now-signature, single-malt level of Scottish cynicism that blends perfectly with his relatable everyman take on life and which, in 2025, won him the coveted Forth Fringe Award.  

Connor sold more than 12,000 tickets for FLOW’s premiere at the 2026 Edinburgh Fringe – before the festival’s brochure even came out! The massive demand for tickets saw him add three extra shows at the 3,000 seat Edinburgh Playhouse – the UK’S largest purpose-built theatre – in addition to his full fringe run. His last tour GALLUS also sold huge numbers of seats, added encore dates UK-wide and finished up with a record breaking five sold-out shows in the flagship King’s Theatre during 2026’s Glasgow International Comedy Festival.  

We say all this because you haven't seen Connor on UK television – no panel shows, no chat shows, no stand-up showcases. It’s all happening as a result of his hilarious live shows and laugh-out-loud social media clips, so we are incredibly excited to welcome Connor to Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
