Joz Norris

Writer. Actor. Comedian. Maker of Stuff.

Welcome!

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 172: The Year In Tarot

Joz Norris • Thursday, February 13th, 2025

I knew it would happen. Since revealing my 12 Days Of Christmas Tarot Spread To Predict The 12 Months Of The Year Ahead last week, I have been inundated with replies asking me to reveal more about it, and shed some light on exactly what it revealed to me about 2025. “Really?” Yes, I think so.

Tape 170: Find Your Position Of Strength

Joz Norris • Friday, January 24th, 2025

I’m enjoying 2025 so far. It’s the first year since 2022 where I’ve gone into January pretty much knowing what the year has in store for me, or the first half of it at least. The last two Januaries very much played out in a spirit of “I’ll just sit on my hands for a […]
