Geoff Norcott - Comedy Correctness Gone Mad
Stand-up comedian, political pundit, and podcast host Geoff Norcott joins Paul Boross to discuss the intersection of humour and politics. He shares his insights on the expectations of audiences and how comedy can bring people together regardless of their political party.
“It’s good to acknowledge the funny thought about you that they (the audience) may have had. It is a legitimate comedic device of walking out and addressing what people's first thought about you might be. It clears the elephant in the room, and it also shows them that you know what you're doing.” Hear Geoff Norcott discuss the comedy on both sides of the political aisle and provide his thoughts on what makes politicians truly likeable. Learn how humour can help humans combat the division that comes with our modern-day politics only on The Humourology Podcast.

Customer Reviews
HUGELEY ENTERTAINING & INFORMATIVE
A great idea and really enjoyed the first episode - I so want to meet Steve Lee! Some clever tips on the difference between being witty and being funny, as well as the art of repetition. Learning about the importance of repetition was also really useful! Looking forward to the next episode.
Thoroughly recommend
Really enjoy this podcast. Both informative and entertaining. It gives a fascinating insight into the minds of people I really admire (eg the Jo Brand episode). It’s also fabulously thought-provoking (eg the Rory Sutherland episode about creativity)
Refreshingly funny and fascinating podcast
Cannot stop listening to these podcasts!. Paul’s guests are not only extremely interesting but funny too. Paul leads the conversation seamlessly and his expertise and the thought provoking topics discussed make this a fascinating podcast.
