My name’s Jon Norman-Mason and I’m a storyteller based in Brighton.

Storyteller, you ask? What, like some sort of minstrel who tells old fairy tales about princesses and magic?

Well, yes – sort of. But there’s a lot more besides…

I tell stories about times gone by and the modern day, blending fact and fantasy, from all over the world, for kids and grownups. I’ve given performances and workshops at festivals, community events, schools, spoken word nights, and storytelling clubs around the country – I create shows and sessions to suit all needs.

I’m also a folklorist and cultural historian, researching stories in the context of their time, place and social meaning. I have appeared as a guest on BBC Radio, and teach up to university level on storytelling skills, folklore and more.

For more about what I can offer, look at the links above – and have a look at my videos page. If an oral storyteller would go down well at an event you’re planning, just give me a shout!

See you out and about!
