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

EP 192 - ZOE LYONS
After a quick catch-up from some mental drugs announcements from the two main parties, I speak to proper stand-up Zoe Lyons. We have a good old chin-wag about how comedy is going and whether social media comics have what it takes for live. Plus Zoe, as a left leaning comic, shares her surprise at how some of our colleagues reacted to Brexit in their acts.

EP 191 - The Donald & The Boris with FRANCIS FOSTER
Triggernometry's very own Francis Foster returns to co-host.
We rattle through a whole load of topic, from Boris to Donald to Keir to Suella, the Met Police and whether our grandparents were off their face the whole time.

EP 190 - OH GARY, GARY...
Early upload this week as I'd rather share my thoughts on the Lineker psychodrama here than on Twitter.
We also talk about the economy's surprise growth and whether 30p Lee is a master of the dark arts.
We also have our first relationship letter for a while and I give very dodgy advice.

EP 189 - THE RETURN OF KONSTANTIN
This week it's WMPT gold as Konstantin returns to co-host.
We rattle through the subjects, from Covid leaks to migrant issue and the emergence of some bizarre job called a 'sensitivity reader'.
Plus I make one of those most offensive analogies in the history of the show.

EP 188 - DARREN MCGARVEY
First up we have a quick catch up about the week gone and little Rishi's big deal.
Then I speak to Scottish rapper, activist and writer Darren McGarvey. Darren comes at things from a very different angle to me on a political level, but communicates with such clarity I defy anyone not to take away something from this.
His analogy about the SNP using nationalism like a 'performance enhancing drug' is the best i've heard.

EP 187 - BOY'S GONE WILD
After a quick catch-up on Roald Dahl and drunken escapades in Helsinki, I catch to the very talented lads from Boy's Gone Wild.
They're the youngest guests i've ever had on the show, but will surprise you with where their comedy is coming from. Fantastic inter-generational chat. You'll learn something. I did.

Like it
A bit man-splainy but funny and refreshing. Also makes me reminisce of days past being chatted up in a Bar 2 Far in Tooting.
Top Show
If you’ve seen Geoff’s work elsewhere, you may (or may not) be surprised by what you find here. Mixture of guests with various viewpoints discussing the topics of the day. Sounds pretty humdrum, right? Never. It’s funny AF.
Hilarious and welcoming
Full disclosure, Geoff has a direct line to my funny bone. His podcast is like sitting with a mate in your lounge room, while he makes you laugh so hard you’re face hurts. He’s warm and funny, friendly and immensely amusing. He’s the everyman. This is a brilliant and topical podcast, and I’m flogging it to all my mates. Brilliant stuff.
