Norman: 'exquisite stand-up comedy' Guardian, 'a natural-born comic' (Edinburgh Evening News) / The Pleasance Courtyard (located at 60 Pleasance) has over 300,000 visitors, fourteen venues, six bars, three cafes and every kind of entertainment under the sun.

Newest Review: ... I can remember was him displaying a long plastic bag and saying something about houses using them to do poos in. This year’s show, which has been performed before earlier in the year around England, is quite different, and is essentially and honestly billed as Norman Lovett going through some slides and talking about them.
