Joz Norris: You Wait. Time Passes.

If you’re looking for something a bit different in the comedy scene next month, Joz Norris is bringing his acclaimed show, Joz Norris: You Wait. Time Passes., to Brighton. Joz is probably best known for his work on BBC Radio 4, having created programs like 'The Dream Factory' and 'A Small Talk On Small Talk.' He’s built a reputation for comedy that leans towards the absurd but still manages to be genuinely thoughtful and complex. This particular show, which he has described as his 'life's work completed,' focuses on big, relatable themes like ambition, finding closure, and figuring out how to move forward when things feel stuck. It’s a new show that has been touring the UK, and this stop gives us a chance to see why he’s often labeled an 'absurd genius.'

The show isn't just getting good reviews; it’s been recognized formally across the comedy circuit, which is always a good sign of quality. It was a sell-out success at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2025, where it earned 5-star reviews and was praised by critics as 'demented, meticulous, and strangely moving.' Furthermore, it picked up the WoW Award for Best Comedy Show and was nominated for both the NextUp Biggest Award in Comedy and the Malcolm Hardee Award for Comic Originality. These accolades suggest that this isn't just a standard stand-up set, but something that pushes boundaries and offers a unique perspective on life's big questions.

For those planning to go, the performance is scheduled for Wednesday, March 4, 2026, right here in the city. It will be held in the intimate setting of the Komedia Studio, located in the North Laine area. Doors open at 7:30 PM, with the show starting promptly at 8:00 PM. Tickets are priced at £12.00, which is pretty standard for a touring show of this caliber. Just a heads-up on logistics: seating is unreserved, so if you have a preferred spot, it’s worth getting there when doors open. Also, the event has an age restriction, welcoming only those 16 years and older.
