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 173: “You Couldn’t Make That Nowadays”

You may have heard that Mitchell & Webb are back with a new sketch show. I’m quite excited about this – the original Mitchell & Webb series had some absolute classics, and the team involved in the new series includes legends Stevie Martin, Kiell Smith-Bynoe and Lara Ricote, so it’s nice to see a big-name commission […]

Why, […]

During the 12 Days of Christmas, Miranda and Nat Luurtsema and I took part in a 12 Days of Christmas Tarot project to receive divinely inspired glimpses of the year ahead. Each day you draw a Tarot card and that card shows you what the corresponding month of the year will be like for you […]
