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*

Could've done an episode every day this week! From Linehan getting nicked to the Rayner revelations it's felt like a lifetime since Monday. Also old slippery Starmer has been busy taking away power from Rachel, while she is kicking the budget down the road like me putting off a trip to the dump.

Great show this week as Andrew returns to discuss another shock poll for Reform (aren't they all these days?). We also suggest that - following his recent social media update - Keir Starmer should never speak in public again. Then I ask Mr Doyle about life in the U.S and whether our apocalyptic perception of their politics is in any way accurate. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

The excellently insightful Alun Cochrane joined me to ponder whether Angela Rayner is either very normal, or not as normal as she makes out. We also look ahead to Labour going back to school and whether they'll end up taxing luxury dogs. Then we contemplate why young women are moving to 'extreme' left wing politics.

In this week's breaking news I'm trying to work out how Keir 'Britain is Broken' Starmer can pivot to an 'everything's fine' narrative.. I also look at the phenomenon of English flags appearing and ask what the progressive can really say in response. Then it's a good old rant about Lewis Goodall's idea that we should have 100% inheritance tax. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

The brilliant Dominic Frisby joins me to mull over Trump's attempts to bring peace to the world (and whether it would be sped up by Vladimir Putin finally coming out). We also talk about how you can openly call for violence but still be found not guilty of calling for violence. Dom then explains his excellent new book about Gold while I ask dumb questions.

As I'm still up at the Fringe I've been fascinated by wee Nicola's PR tour for her book where it turns out she did nothing wrong and everyone should just be nicer to her. I also reflected on a whopping 0.3% quarter of economic growth and even more impressive growth in the number of illegal boat crossings.

The brilliant Rachel Fairburn returns this week. We ask whether pensioners right to protest should be protected or if they should be lobbed in a meat-wagon like anyone else. There's also talk of Starmer's unconvincing attempts to become a right-wing Harman. We then reflect on the Edinburgh Fringe and how it got progressively less funny.

I'm back off holiday and there was an absolute doozy of a story to climb into as a govt minister turfed out some tenants as she was about to bring through legislation making that illegal! In other news Nigel Farage has been on his 'Britain is F**cked' Tour and there have been some disputes over his numbers. And Kemi Badenoch tried to improve her public perception by admitting being a snitch?? CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

Had to do another episode ahead of going away until next Friday, not least because Ole Slippery Starmer's Palestine plan seems to be unravelling quickly - even for him. Not just that, Peter Kyle has been out calling other politicians nonces while young people seem to be breaking for Jeremy and Nigel. I ask 'why are young women so easily seduced by the far Left?'

Delighted to have Francis Foster back on the show as we consider the impact of the online safety act for for expression (porn, basically). We react also to the super tense press conference with Trump & Starmer looking like a man waiting for an elderly relative to say something dodgy. We then look at the issue of two Jewish comics cancelled by their Edinburgh venues despite their shows not being political. I guess it's Fringe cancellation season!

Delighted to welcome back fellow veteran clubber Ian Stone this week. As Parliament headed to recess it gave us the chance to consider the water review (and make puns about it). We also reflected on giving 16 year olds the vote (they'll probably end up voting for Nigel or Jeremy). Then we chatted Trump for the first time in a while: is he on the Epstein list?

Didn't think there would be enough news for a breaking news then it all kicks off! BLAM - Starmer suspends 4 Labour backbenchers. KAPOW - Tories & Labour up to their necks in the Afghan data leak row (which I've tried my best to unpack so you don't have to).

The brilliant Simon Evans returns to discuss a bit of family friction between Labour and the Unions (we also reflect on how it might sound hearing Angela say 'silly stunts'). Also - after some classic Noughties sitcoms have had trigger warnings imposed - we ask what IS the point?

A brilliant new guest this week as Scott Capurro makes his WMPT. For my money, Scott is one of the most genuinely controversial comics i've worked with and it was great to get his uncompromising takes on everything from a recent Labour poll on Starmer to the fact London Pride marches aren't what they were. In the Patreon only we discuss offence in comedy and why Scott might get more than cancelled if he release one particular routine...

An interesting episode as music becomes politics with Kneecap and Bob Vylan making headlines from the festival. Simon Brodkin joins me to discuss where criticism of Israel stops and anti-semitism beings (and also how hot the kneecap lads must've been in the balaclava).

Had a late guest drop out, which gave me the chance to get stuck into some fairly big news stories which have broke since last week. From Trump bombing Iran's nuclear facilities to Starmer seemingly not having a view either way. From bad economic news to Farage robbing the rich to feed the poor.

Bit of a smorgasbord this week as I pick up some political loose ends, including 'Big Ange' looking good at PMQS and problems with the Tory 'talent' pool.

23:33 maybe it’s not “intellectual limbo” maybe people just agree with him (and JD Vance)

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.

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.

"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)

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*

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.
