The official press release on this new addition reads:

Best known as Holly from Red Dwarf, he has been on the radar for SFS since its inception and the organisers are delighted to have finally landed him. “We are slowly & surely ticking off names from our master list of genre stars that we have always intended to bring to Scarborough, and Norman is a great addition to next year’s event, We are thrilled,” said Steve Dickinson SFS co-organiser.

Norman started performing supporting punk bands in his early thirties before becoming part of the alternative comedy scene at the original Comedy Store in London. He started appearing on TV programmes which included The Young Ones BBC2, The Tube Ch4, Rab C Nesbitt BBC2, Keeping Up Appearances BBC1, his own series I, Lovett and of course Red Dwarf BBC2.
