Critically acclaimed comic Joz Norris has gone missing. Nobody knows where he is, but it is probably something to do with his wife. Fortunately, three characters drawn from the cream of the alternative comedy circuit are here to fill in for him and save his show: crap superhero Mr Gumbo, ADHD-suffering spider Rosco and deluded auteur Matt Fisher. From his self-imposed exile, Norris assures us they will make adequate replacements. 'Norris has created a genuinely brilliant character ... the audience loves every second' (Skinny).

Comedian challenges critics to a fight

Comedian Joz Norris has come up with a unique way of trying to get critics to come and review his show... challenging them to a duel if they don't.

As has by now become my routine, I am front-rolling merrily down the Royal Mile in my morphsuit, arms outstretched and clutching flyers for all who wish to grasp them, when who should I run into but Sara Shulman, the editor of [Laugh Out London's biggest rival! - Ed] Comedy Blogedy. "Joz!! she cries, and has to forcibly arrest my momentum because the Mile is one steep road.

I head to the Pleasance Igloo to meet the strange bearded man of the day before and find that he is a jolly old cove called Harry Deansway.

Oh boy! Did somebody say 'Private Member's Bar?! Watch out, Hollywood, because a wide-eyed and amazed Joz Norris had his first taste of glitz and glamour tonight! That's right, guys, I went to the private members' bar for Underbelly performers, without even being one, the idiots!

I am dancing atop Arthur's Seat in a kimono when suddenly it occurs to me that I came to Edinburgh to do a show and I've been so busy taking advantage of the local sights (not to mention the night-life - weeeyyyy, lads lads lads, what goes on tour stays on tour) that I have yet to even think about the show in any way.

What a stroke of luck! With my brain muddied by Slush Puppy, I end up rambling incoherently down Cowgate wondering where to go or what to do and run into Mr John Kearns, who has just arrived via the postal special from Liverpool.

More details

Joz Norris (Chortle nominated Weirdos collective) has gone missing. Nobody knows where or why, but it's probably something to do with his wife. Luckily he has been kind enough to find three replacement acts to fill in for him at the last minute - substandard superhero-turned-comedian Mr Gumbo, excitable spider-turned-bespectacled boy Rosco, and deluded auteur-come-ideas man Matt Fisher - all poised, ready to rescue the show from the brink of ruin.

Norris is regarded as one of the most promising and exciting emerging character comics currently working on the circuit. To date he has been a semi-finalist in the Leicester Square Theatre's New Comedian of the Year, is a regular collaborator for the 2013 Chortle award nominated and critically acclaimed Weirdos collective, and performed at the UK premiere of Ben Miller's film Huge at the Empire Cinema, Leicester Square. He is also one half of the popular weekly What Not Comedy Podcast along with Karl Schultz, the host of the new online panel show Punchlines, produced in association with UCA Maidstone and has recently been working on the clowning circuit as part of the Clown Town Cabaret Show for the Brighton Fringe 2013.

Last year Norris's first show, Joz Norris is Matt Fisher: Uberperson received unanimous praise from critics, comics and audiences alike, and his new show is set to be another foray into the silliness and originality he has come to be known for. Norris's characters breathe life as daft, adventurous and fiendishly clever. At times ridiculous, often shambolic, but all of them brimming with fresh ideas and razor-sharp hilarity, and this year's show blends all the diversity and versatility of his comedy into a story about what it means to be a comic, and the rationale behind their seemingly impulsive behaviour.

Don't miss out - Norris's show promises to be one of the most delightful, rewarding, absurdly silly and action-packed shows of the Fringe, and all free of charge (because he's generous like that).
