Joz Norris
Writer. Actor. Comedian. Maker of Stuff.
Welcome to the website of writer, performer and fool Joz Norris. Make yourself at home! (No need to remove your shoes, we’re a shoes-on household, you do you). Here you can watch my films and videos, listen to my radio programmes and podcasts, read my news and essays, and delve into my archive of past projects.
For those who just want a quick update on what I’m currently up to, I am presently:
- Developing a brand new live show, You Wait. Time Passes, which is playing several comedy and arts festivals in 2024 ready for a full launch in 2025
- Developing several scripted narrative comedy projects (one about happiness; one about parenthood and paths not taken; one about murder mysteries; one about an ice cream van)
- Submitting my latest short film to film festivals and developing various other short-form projects
- Co-writing an audio podcast project about a spooky island
- Directing three live shows

Past Projects
Welcome to the Archive! Here you can find out a bit more about every major project I’ve authored over the last 10 years, from live shows to short films to radio shows and so on. If you’re a long-time fan then maybe you’ll remember some of these! And if you’ve found my work more recently, then perhaps it’ll be interesting to go back and see what you’ve missed. Where possible, I’ve included links to be able to see the project itself. Enjoy!

Tape 178: The Slowly Unfolding Terror Of The Promotional Campaign
As I wrote about last week, this year I’m returning to the Edinburgh Fringe for the first time in 3 years. 3 years can be a long time in showbiz, and I’m no fool. Audiences forget. I’m haunted by a recurring dream in which I’m running up and down the Royal Mile covered in photos […]
Tape 177: “Are You Doing The Fringe?”
Well, it was inevitable. Readers who’ve been subscribed to this newsletter from the very beginning will probably be able to predict my Fringe-centric entries with a certain regularity by now, like old folks rocking on the front porch sensing an oncoming storm through their knees. “Joz is going to write about the Fringe again, and […]
