Entertainment career
In 1984
[1] or early 1985
[2] (sources vary), he hosted an unscreened pilot dating show called "It's a Hoot"
for
London Weekend Television. It was reported that both
John Birt, LWT's Director of Programmes and the
Independent Broadcasting Authority regulatory body had reservations about Norvelle's camp style in a dating show; the series was eventually re-titled
Blind Date and hosted by
Cilla Black.
2008 saw him go out on tour as part of the Ricky Tomlinson Laughter Show.

Norvelle has an "In The Club" DVD of his own (released 16/01/2006 by Boulevard Entertainment) and also appears on the Ricky Tomlinson Laughter Show Live DVD. The latter includes a brief interview.
