The one-day spectacular, which was a collaboration between Norwich Theatre Royal and Norwich Fringe, was held in Chapelfield Gardens on Sunday.
It was the latest in line of a six-week programme of live shows taking place in the city centre park, called Interlude, which has already seen stars such as Jimmy Carr and Karl Minns perform.

This event, though, threw the spotlight on artists from across Norwich with an aim of reconnecting the community together.
Shows included theatre, performance poetry and acoustic music acts.
