Description
In an overwhelmingly Lefty comedic landscape, right-leaning stand-up Geoff Norcott is a rare beast. In WMPT he gets to the heart of what ordinary people think about social and political issues. Whatever the contentious subject – he’ll be honest and blunt, but without being a dick. Mostly. Guests come from across the social and political divide, including, Romesh Ranganathan, Jonathan Pie, Katherine Ryan, Andrew Doyle, David Baddiel, Konstantin Kisin, Owen Jones and many more. Geoff has appeared on Live at the Apollo, Backstage with Katherine Ryan, Would I lie to You? Have I Got News For You? The Last Leg, Mash Report, Question Time, Mock the Week and pops up frequently on UK political debate programmes. Geoff's book 'Where Did I Go Right?' came out in 2021 and top the political comedy best-seller list on multiple occasions. Geoff also won an operational medal for his five tours performing to British troops in Afghanistan. "One of our most refreshingly funny comedians of any stripe." - Sunday Times "A Right laugh." - The Guardian*

The lovely Rachel Fairburn joins us this week to discuss Starmer finally getting a name-check from the Donald. We also suggest weird ideas for growth to Rachel from accounts. There's a bit of men's mental health (with jokes I promise) and in the Patreon only we ask what age should you ban smartphones from.

Triggernometry's Francis Foster joins me to look back at an eventful start to the big Trump sequel. From the Village People to accusations of Nazi salutes we deep dive on all things inauguration. Then we ask how the hell Keir Starmer gets in Trump's good books, while also scratching our heads at Brexiteers starting to sound like Remainers.

As (loosely) promised here's an extra episode. It's all about the laydeez this week as I discuss Yvette Cooper's petty fudge on grooming gangs, Bridget Phillipson continuing to be the most irritating person in government & why Kemi needs to do some action-hero stuff.

1Simon Evans joins me one week late but full of interesting take on whether the nickname 'Rachel from accounts' is sexist & whether Starmer is the man to lead the charge on AI. We also wonder whether events in the US have finally changed the direction of travel on aggressive DEI. Plus I disclose why my father's memorial plaque makes him sound bisexual.

Mental week so here's another episode. I start by analysing one of the best PMQs for a while, but deciding that Kemi shaded it with her 'Leader not a lawyer'. Then, with the economy sliding, we ask which room have the grown ups gone into? Because it might be the panic room. I end by looking at some mad stuff said by Trump which might not be so mad after all.

First proper episode of the New Year and there's plenty to react to. Legitimate calls for an inquiry into rape gangs alongside Elon taking a 'keen interest' in UK politics and straying outside the boundaries of truth. Ian Stone joins me to discuss all this, plus we ask whether Labour's social care plan can be taken at face value (but ended up making childish jokes).

In the traditional end of year episode I reflect on my predictions for 2024 (shockingly bad) but have no hesitation making a bunch of terrible new ones. There's bad news for Rachel from Accounts and Starmer, plus Kemi might have a lot on her plate (even it's not sandwiches).

Romesh returns for another festive instalment of WMPT. We do a short political review of the year, but mostly it's us seeing if we can get ourselves cancelled before the holiday season (my producer said he pissed himself laughing listening to this, so I hope you enjoy it too).

I ask whether the right-wing press are correct that Labour are planning on selling out to the EU? We also look at the govt getting some progress with deportation but nowhere with boats. Then I have some Christmas advice for Kemi (and some criticism for people who take too long at the front of queues).

Was delighted to welcome back the brilliant Matt Forde to lock horns over Labour's start to government. Matt also has some wise words about the rise of Reform and why some football fans see their team like the local council. And of course I shamelessly ask him to do some impressions.

A busy week which fully warranted an extra episode. Not just me hob-sobbing with the political elites or having my whole career defined by a tweet about Paddington Bear, but Keir Starmer also laid out his six political milestones. At a film studio, but with all the panache of Mr Bean.

Was delighted to have the very funny Alun Cochrane back on the show. As well some talk about horror-show Christmas gigs we reflected on the assisted dying debate, the transport secretary getting thrown under a bus and whether being a bit 'Gregg Wallace' is now officially a thing.

A rare in-person record this week as myself and Jacob Hawley boshed a coffee each and probably spoke too fast. We discussed the frivolous e-petition, but also the hypocrisy of some Remoaners. We also got annoyed with Elon for his constant obsession with Britain and reflected on whether 'Bert' is a weird name for a storm.

Had to crack out another episode this week to deal with the Farmer protests, and an interesting clash at PMQs. Then - in the week of International Men's Day - The Man Whisperer rejoins us to chat about the big issues facing blokes and young men in particular (I also make some immature jokes about porn).

This week Simon Evans joins us to ask if Labour have turned the economy around....and are now steering it into a wall at high speed. We also look at Trump's picks and compare the glitzy nature of US politics versus our 'Colin from Accounts' era. Then there's the assisted dying bill, where we assess the nuances while also making cheap jokes.

The brilliant Andrew Doyle returns to ask whether young women voted Trump because they hate themselves? (no) We also look at what it means for the UK. Will Starmer cosy up to Donald or will it all end like the final scene of Love Actually? In the Patreon only bonus section we ask whether Justin Welby should resign - also whether he's too old for a name like 'Justin'.

A momentous week. First up I reflect on seeing Kemi make a mixed debut as I attended PMQS and realised the Tories really are a small bunch these days. Then it's the US election and the incredible return of Donald Trump. I reflect on everything the Democrats did wrong and why insulting the electorate until they change their mind isn't necessarily the best strategy.

Rachel Fairburn makes a welcome return to discuss the fallout from Labour's budget, the coronation of queen Kemi and whether Kamala will beat Trump by stealth. We also discuss why the friendliest sounding pubs are the most violent and why people who return from short periods abroad with new accents are the worst humans alive.

I brought in the big gun Iain to discuss a huuuuuge (copyright Donald Trump) week for UK and US politics. First we discuss the budget and Labour's inability to define working people or exactly who will benefit in the long run. After that we look at Kemi as the likely next Tory leader. Then it's over the pond to look at the final stages of the Presidential race and why maybe comedians aren't the best booking.

Big old week of news so I cast my eye back on Donald taking on the Labour Party while the same boring old celebs trot out for Kamala. I also ask if Tucker Carlson is a bit weird. Then there's Wes Streeting's attempts to ask for suggestions to make the NHS better. I mainly advocate hot nurses.

This is a ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ episode. The final section about Dominic Frisby's musical podcast series 'Kisses on a Postcard ' alone is brilliant. I really recommend this podcast.
Why is not upsetting people on Twitter so important? 07:50?
Love this podcast! Round #2 for Geoff & Alistair would be great (please?)
The same Russell Kane who stated the cancel culture wasn't an issue, while also stating he deleted any social media posts older than 6 months just in case.......
Great pod, some stuff I agree with, some not so much but everyones different. 4 stars!
Just come to this podcast and my politics are in line entirely with Matt Forde and I love TB too. I have also listened to your one with Henning, Katherine and Romesh, all good. Its interesting and funny to hear a counter view my own which is funny and well thought out, thoroughly recommend.
I think the difference between someone on the left like AKA Jonathan Pie and people on the right is that he thinks most people are “fucking idiots” who can’t be trusted while people on the right generally think people are good and will do the right thing most of the time without needing to be coerced.
Book bought
"A virus that's on its way out"... How wrong you were. I like you Geoff, I do, but you should avoid speaking with such certainty about topics on which you are not so well informed.
I thoroughly enjoyed the ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nico Yearwood interview. Geoff and Nico's comedy styles complemented each other well. They shared some fascinating insights into several aspects of modern attitudes, in an entertaining manner. (Note to self: search for Nico Yearwood's podcast)
Do you count the cussings that you list when you're doing the cussing count in the cussing count for the next show. 😁😁😁
Brilliant. Thanks for the entertainment and valid points in this very divided time we live in. Keep them coming please.
Top pod. Keep it going...
awesome podcast, one of the few I listen too, shame it's only weekly. would like a couple every week. particularly now we all in lockdown 👀
Great entertainment as usual.Very funny guy does say a lot of what I think but that's why he is there speaking up for the silent middle aged white males. 5*
Excellent podcasts... Could you please remind me of the email address to write in comments?
Jayde was brilliant on this episode. Refreshing honesty
Discovered Geoff through the Mash Report, discovered this podcast through his twitter feed. So great to have a UK comedian who isn't a raving lefty, and who can make comedy that I can relate to
usually a fan but episode 17 i had to tune out. Geoff tried his best but after 30 minutes it was clear his guest was just contrary for the sake of attaining a new audience. shame as some of his points had me thinking.
5*****, funny, irreverent and funny
