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!

I was also really happy to read how many of you connected with the things I talked about in my last newsletter, namely the idea of taking ownership […]
Tape 159: That’s Enough Despair For Now, Thanks
So here’s the thing. I spent a lot of last year in the grips of an unshakeable despair. I handed over a lot of my power to things I couldn’t possibly hope to control, you see. It was my year of really trying to break into the TV and film world, access to which is […]
Tape 158: Confidence
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 […]
