Norman puts his theatrical and comedic talents to use as he weaves stories and paints musical imagery that audiences respond to immediately. His hilarious adaptation of nursery rhymes sung by rock stars is a routine that defines his talent for creating material that can bridge the generation gap. He calls this a twist on tradition". His claim to fame are his props with an attitude. Simple by nature, fascinating by delivery. These characters enter the stage as inanimate objects and with the element of surprise and improvisation come to life, never failing to bring the house down with laughter and applause.

Norman has created a very special niche with his irreverent comedy and skillful music. He has written and recorded songs for Disney Records, Shari Lewis, CBC syndicated t.v. show "Scoop & Doozie�, and most recently the live musicals for �Max & Ruby� and �Toopy and Binoo�. Norman has received four Parents Choice and NAPPA Gold Awards, Pacific Music Industry Awards, Socan�s Songwriter of the year award and most recently, 2010 JUNO & WMCA awards. His music videos include �One Thousand Pennies�, �Lets Sing a Song,� and �The Progress of Man�.
