He was born in Rochdale, Lancashire, and started his working life as a commercial traveller, while also taking part in amateur dramatic groups. He gained a local reputation for his after-dinner speeches, and decided to become an entertainer, initially appearing at local functions and concert parties. In 1934 he was reportedly discovered by fellow Rochdale entertainer Gracie Fields, though in fact he had already been seen by impresario Oswald Stoll. He had his first London appearance alongside a young Betty Driver, and gained a place on national variety tours, where he was an immediate success. According to writer Michael Kilgarriff, his "broad boisterous comedy and warmth of personality swiftly elevated him to lasting stardom."The most expensive item with a signature of Norman Evans (MUSIC HALL ACT 1940s, ROCHDALE COMEDIAN NORMAN EVANS HAND DONE LETTER SIGNED.) was sold in January 2021 for £50.00 while the cheapest item (NORMAN EVANS Signed Photograph - Auction House COA - Variety & Radio Comedian) found a new owner for £0.89 in June 2017.
