In this episode of Business Babble, we’re joined by stand-up comedian Connor Burns, who shares the real behind-the-scenes graft that most people never see. From ditching a steady job three weeks before lockdown to playing sold-out shows across the UK, Connor talks about what it’s really like to build a career in comedy from the ground up.
We talk about the realities of self-employment, chasing gigs that lose money but open doors, and learning to trust your gut even when everyone else thinks you’re daft. Connor gets honest about social media, agents, fame, the grind of the Fringe, and why working-class comedians have to hustle twice as hard to break through.
If you’ve ever thought about going all in on your dream, this one’s for you.
