EDFRINGE 2023 - THE JOZ NORRIS MEGAMIX:
This year, in lieu of creating new live work myself, I launched a Fringe consultancy/dramaturgy practice. I've had the pleasure of working on a bunch of brilliant shows for this year's festival. Here's where you can see them all!
My old comrade-in-arms Ben Target got Miranda Holms and I in as outside eyes/note-givers at the first and final stages of his beautiful theatre show, about care and death and pranks. I think it'll be a show you'll hear a lot about.
Abby Vicky-Russell's Gush is an amazing blend of character comedy, confessional theatre and drag. Some of the work we did on it involved hiding some of the show's true meaning within its form, so I won't say too much! But it is fantastic.
Ted Hill is taking the biggest and most terrifying issue of the cultural moment and treating it with the silliness we need in the world right now. This is a brilliantly daft multimedia extravaganza.
Rosalie Minnitt's character creation is bold, riotous and ridiculous, and her show is a delightful rollercoaster ride. It's exploring the societal pressure surrounding relationships, but it's also just really good fun.
Lulu Popplewell is a brilliant stand-up with a great eye for the ridiculous. Her show explores addiction, recovery and public shaming through the lens of everyone's favourite terrible film.
I did a session with Jaz Mattu on his kaleidoscopically inventive one-man show extravaganza. It's bursting with ideas and I enjoyed helping to explore the story and persona at its centre.
Perhaps next week I'll post some other Fringe recommendations of shows I did NOT work on, because there's plenty of amazing stuff up there, but for now, go see all those shows! I'm proud & impressed by what this talented bunch have made, and have loved watching it come together!
