Joz Norris

Demi Adejuyigbe explores authenticity through original songs, comedic bits, and a single backflip.

In 2018 Joz Norris had a breakdown that made him afraid to leave his own flat. In 2019 he was evicted from that flat and had to say goodbye to the identity he had constructed for himself in the eight years he lived there. You Build The Thing You Think You Are is an absurdist storytelling show about how we construct ourselves, about the accumulation of rubbish both in our heads and in our homes, about feeling more at home in your mind than in your body, and about the struggle to ever share any of this stuff with another human being. It's about a Romanian Troll/Goblin thing who just wants to sing the hits and learn how to dance; about a Van Morrison gig that accidentally came to be the cornerstone of a personality; and about a gong bath so profound that it caused someone's spine to grow by two inches.

A Load Of Croc is a flatshare sitcom like no other. A walking, talking crocodile is coached through the difficulties of life by Dorito Fish.

Frank has finally found somewhere affordable to live, but there’s just one problem. He has to behave. A short magical realist comedy about loneliness and the rental crisis.

It's said that Robert Johnson, one of the most influential, pioneering musicians in history, met the Devil at a crossroads at midnight and sold his soul to be the greatest there's ever been. A century later a hapless millennial of the same name attempts to follow in the footsteps of his namesake and not only does he find the myth to be real, but the parameters of becoming the best not as straightforward as he might have hoped. Written by and starring Joz Norris and directed by Matthew Highton (two award winning comedians and founding members of the critically lauded, alternative comedy groups, Weirdos Comedy Club and Comedians Cinema Club), this is a sweet, absurd take on one of the most famous legends in music history. Also starring David Mills (Florence Foster Jenkins) in the role he was born to play, the Devil.

Award-winning idiot Joz Norris presents an experiment in chaos and order. You, the audience, are in control. You will be presented with a series of verbs, materials and stories. It is up to YOU what to do with them. Joz Norris, a bemused puppet who cannot tell the difference between a thought and a feeling, will enact your instructions. You can use your power for good or evil. To create or to destroy. We can create something beautiful together. Or you can subject this poor man to ritual humiliation by turning his ideas against him. What happens next, as ever, is up to you.

Joz Norris has retired or possibly died, who cares? All that matters is Mr Fruit Salad, a fictional chimaera he created as a form of self-care, has developed autonomy and is putting on a solo show. Absurdist meditation on anxiety and grief performed by an idiot from Pontefract who doesn't exist.
