Connor Burns: 1994

From one of the most exciting emerging new stars in the UK’s live stand-up scene,1994 is Edinburgh native’s Connor Burns third solo hour. A prolific joke writer, his Scottish-level cynicism and self-deprecation punctuates a disarmingly relaxed persona and an intelligent, razor-sharp wit.

Connor’s burgeoning reputation as “one to watch” was cemented at the 2023 Fringe when he sold out his entire run two months before the festival started. An additional 9 shows (2000 seats) were added – which also sold out, with audiences even queuing for returns.

Taking Leeds Holi Festival 2025 to another level with big production and line up, we aim to host over 7,000 Holi lovers!

Christian (Bang) is a divorced and distracted father of two, and the respected curator of a contemporary art museum in Stockholm.
