About John Norris
Mr Chonkers: Work in Chonkers is a comedy show by John Norris at Monkey Barrel at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Norris (Mr Chonkers, allegedly) is testing out new material: goofs, gags, musings, bits and vague energy. Nonsense. Press and awards judges are explicitly not welcome. The show runs for 60 minutes, carries an age guidance of 16+, and includes audience participation. Distressing or potentially triggering themes and strong language are also listed as content warnings.
Why see this show?
A deliberately open-ended comedy hour from John Norris, who'd rather you didn't over-think it. If you like your Fringe comedy loose, unpredictable and honest about its own work-in-progress nature, this is the show for you.
