The World Premiere of a new Norman Wisdom Play

Performed by Jack Lane
Written by Jack Lane and Martyn Bell
Music and Direction by Kenny Clayton

In this moving and funny one-man play, Jack takes you behind Norman’s well-known cheeky character to reveal a tough and lonely childhood that would spur him on to a better life. Whilst serving in the Army he discovers a passion for comedy and begins to perfect an act that would go on to shape his unique style.

The world of post-war Music Hall and Variety embraces Norman’s manic slapstick routine catapulting him to stardom in the early 1950s. Success on the silver screen including the hit song, ‘Don’t Laugh at Me’, seals his fame. But fame comes at a price...

Produced by Engine Shed, the company who brought you the sell out run of Steptoe & Son, in association with The Capitol.
