- The title refers to the traditional Scots dialect meaning "bold, daring and reckless"
Connor Burns is to set out on his biggest stand-up tour to date.
Gallus, his fourth solo show, is named after the traditional Scots dialect meaning "bold, daring and reckless".
The comic himself explains: "Scots have a failsafe way of making sure their kin don't get too full of themselves - they cut them down to size at every opportunity. But if an outsider was to attack you they'd defend you to the death. As a Scottish comedian I dance on that razor of wanting to blow up the room, but always checking over my shoulder to see if I might just be getting too cocky. Gallus".
This new tour follows on from the successes of his previous show, 1994, which sold over 10,000 tickets in his Edinburgh hometown alone. Meanwhile his previous show, Vertigo, is set to be released as an online special this July.
His promoters say: "Connor Burns, one of the fastest rising names in comedy, premieres his brand-new show Gallus - a fiercely funny, no-nonsense hour from a performer renowned for his razor-sharp wit, jet-black cynicism, and undeniable stage presence.
"A prolific joke writer whose lightning fast, razor-sharp wit combined with his signature single malt Scottish-level cynicism to help create the perfect storm of brilliant jokes performed by a disarming comedy powerhouse.
"These achievements cement Connor's status as a world-class comic: prolific, unfiltered, and bitingly observant. Armed with cutting one-liners, high-velocity punchlines, and bold insights into modern life, he delivers a show bursting with bravado, blistering honesty and a big heart."
