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 158: Confidence

Joz Norris • Thursday, October 10th, 2024

Thanks for all your lovely replies about last week’s Tape! I was pleased to hear that my story of humiliation and idiocy struck a chord with so many of you. Isn’t it great that we’re all really stupid? I promised that if people enjoyed that story – my favourite from my time spent thinking that […]

Miranda has recently been writing a script about dating apps and dating agencies, so we’ve been talking a lot about what our respective experiences of dating apps were (to cut a long story short – awful). I spent about a year really making dating apps a core part of my personality because I was quite […]

I find it very endearing that she still does this despite the fact that I’ve lived in London for nearly fifteen years. Broadly speaking, the videos fall into three distinct categories, with more or less equal distribution. The […]
