New show from Scotland's hilarious international breakthrough stand-up star! 'Burns has arrived... An authentic Scottish voice. And a gallus one at that' **** (Entertainment-Now.com). Connor's previous smash-hit 1994 sold 10,000+ tickets in Edinburgh, toured worldwide (50+ UK shows, 35+ Australia-wide, plus an off-Broadway run as part of New York's Comedy Festival) and won 2024's prestigious Fringe Encore Series. He's also supported Daniel Sloss in three continents and filmed a comedy special. 'Hugely gifted' (BeyondtheJoke.com). 'Brilliant... gags coming at you at a terrifying rate... Superb!' **** (List). 'Hilarious... he is fearless and it is wonderful!' ***** (Scotsman).

Connor Burns: GALLUS

Craig's back. Craig's front. Craig's everywhere! The hilariously cheeky, riotously effervescent Fringe favourite explodes on stage for a kilt swingin' highland fling of an evening, as he reveals what's behind the curtain! 2023/2024 Sir Billy Connolly Spirit of Glasgow Award nominee. 'Laugh-out-loud... Absolutely hilarious' (List). 'He is that rare thing, a naturally funny comedian' (Independent). 'He blew the roof off' (Chortle.co.uk). 'I've not heard a room laugh so long and hard' (Mirror). 'A divine comic gift' (Stage). 'Glorious, camp, comedy magic... Priceless!' (Scotsman). 'A show you wish would last forever' (Radio Forth).

Craig Hill: Wait 'Til You See My Entrance!

Scotland's international comedy star is doing a run of shows to work up some new material for his next tour. So come expecting nerves, notes onstage and a lot of laughs... but don't come expecting a slick, finished comedy show. This is strictly a work in progress by one of the foremost stand-up voices of his generation. We should probably mention that Daniel has sold out multiple New York runs both on and off Broadway, smashed multiple box office records and has toured live in 55 countries.
