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!

Time Passes. and it’s coming to a wonderful comedy festival near you at some point in the […]
Tape 175: Aaaaaand Repeat
I’ve sat paralysed at my laptop for some time now, trying to work out what this week’s newsletter will be about. Truth is, I’ve been a little thrown off balance by the fact that this recent entry, about people who say “You couldn’t make such-and-such any more,” has become the most-read of these things I’ve ever […]
Tape 174: What Even IS Comedy Directing?
Last month I was chatting to a frequent collaborator and friend about a new idea we’ve just pitched into the Gods of Radio (pray for us! Cross your fingers! Send us your best vibes! It’s a documentary about pirates, kind of!). We were catching up on what we’d both been up to and I was […]
