NICE. NORM. NEWS. News Posted by John Hoare on 26th February 2007, 11:41 Dated 23rd December, but (apart from the Glasgow date) this is new news, so it must just be an updated story: “I will be recording my stand-up show in April for DVD release. I’m very excited as it is my first and after 28 years of stand-up I think I’m ready. I will be performing my Slide Show at Edinburgh Festival this year.” Could you get two better Norm-related pieces of news than that? I doubt it. A DVD release of his stand-up should be fantastic – and I’m intrigued to see how his slideshow will go down in Edinburgh…
G&T picking things apart, there. Anyway, fab news, and well done to Norm and whoever else is involved. A great bunch of lads.
Would people buy a DVD of me standing up? I’ve been doing it for 22 years, so nearly as long as Norm.
I suspect the DVD will find its way onto my DVD shelfs… Looking forward to the write up/report on TOS…
>it is my first and after 28 years of stand-up I think I?m ready. Thats his opinon, not fact! I know it?s G&T?s objective to rip to shreds every word in every sentence on every site thats even got the slightest link to red dwarf, but come on.
Well, being favourably placed, I could see about attending his Edniburgh Slideshow and possibly writing a small review for this site…if you so desired. Hell, if I can, I’ll even try for an interview by catching him after it if possible :P
One interesting thing about Norm’s website- the ‘alternative text’ for the ‘contact’ icon on the home page is “This is not a daffodil, repeat, this is not a daffodil!” Hmm, I can’t remember Norm’s Holly ever saying that…
He also uses the phrase “What a guy” somewhere prevalent (can’t remember right now), even though his Holly never appeared in an Ace episode. So I guess Norm did keep up with the show even when he wasn’t involved.
His site has now updated again to say that his DVD recording is on April 10th/11th. No word as to where it’ll be recorded, though…
