I'd better confess at the beginning, that initially, my show wasn't about anything in particular. I'll explain. In order to secure a venue, print posters & get yourself registered with the Fringe festival, all of this had to be done 8 months in advance. At that early stage I hadn't a notion of what i was gonna be doing , muchless even entertain an idea of incorporating a hearse into the proceedings!

Without having a show written and rapidly needing a title for it, my solution was to come up with a name for a show that could mean anything. Hence the birth of the showname "Donal Norton is Keyless". It really did mean nothing. I thought that a good starting point for the show might be how my comedic career was surepticiously given birth to the exact same moment my musical career nosedived. The occasion was when i got the boot from touring Europe with David Hasselhoff for breaking the three sacred rules, (ask me about it sometime).

The madness of it all was how i was urged to keep that skeleton well buried as i dealt with the movers and grovers in the music business, and then as i became accepted as a comedian, in every tv/radio/newspaper interview, i've been equally urged to tell everybody! Ye just cant please everyone! Anyway seeing as i still get asked about those days here's some pictures from a video that i made on-stage with 'the Hoff'. The guitarist brazenly gets away with the very offence that gets me sent to the sideline.....Referee!





This is the flyer for me Edinburgh Fringe show Donal Norton is Keyless. I 'only' had 5000 of them printed & for the month of August i stood on the corner of Tron Square trying to give away the flyers and free tickets to me show.
