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*

BREAKING NEWS # 9 - Was it Torygeddon in the Local Elections?
Despite a b*stard journey back from Guernsey I managed to squeeze this out. I talk about the Tories getting battered at council level, doing not so badly with the mayoral votes and whether I voted Tory for the first time since 2019....

EP 247 - Ho-Humza & Election Fever with IAIN DALE
In this huge political week it was great to get Iain back on the show to talk about the upcoming local and mayoral elections & also reflect on the HUMbelievable downfall of Humza. We also speculate on what form a Penny Mordaunt leadership bid would take, and conclude it would involve a cape and a sword.

EP 246 - Angela Rayner, Violent Crime and Library Nonc*s with RACHEL FAIRBURN
We have a lady this week! Not just that a funny working class Northern lady (so many boxes ticked). Rachel Fairburn joins me to consider whether anyone cares about Angela Rayner's dogginess, if there really is a drop in violent crime and whether there's such a thing as Library Nonc*s

EP 245 - Liz Truss, WW3 & Cancel Culture with SEANN WALSH
This week Seann Walsh returns for a very eclectic show. We discuss Liz Truss and her theory about running restaurants, the prospect of World War 3 and my belief that Seann is within his rights to look down his nose at modern cancel culture victims. There's also one of my favourite ever moments as Seann starts an observation about plastic bottles which he doesn't get to finish....

BREAKING NEWS #8 - Fallout from the Cass Report
In this episode I try to give a very normal bloke response to the findings of the Cass Report. I won't lie, it's a heavy subject, so luckily there was also a fun YouGov survey this week asking the public silly questions about Sunak and Starmer which I get stuck into. I also reveal one of the most childish things I've ever done.

EP 244 - Politics and Murder with STIG ABELL
This week I talk to broadcaster and write Stig Abell about politics and murder. Stig presents a breakfast show and gives on the background on politicians who say stupid things or - indeed - nothing at all. Then it's on to murder. Stig is a crime novelist and I challenge him to justify why it's ok to be entertained by people being killed.
Get a copy of Stig's book, 'Death in a Lonely Place', here: https://harpercollins.co.uk/products/death-in-a-lonely-place-jake-jackson-book-2-stig-abell?variant=40311010820174

Customer Reviews
Love It
One of the best comics on the circuit displaying his razor sharp wit and mind on the perfect forum. And yeah, certainly what most most people I know think.
More Geoff and Seann please!
They’re the double act we didn’t know we needed, in this crazy world we’re living in. Loved the energy Seann brought this week. Geoff, thanks for the thought-provoking common sense every week and the really important work you do on young men’s mental health. Keep going, you’re doing great.
A fix for all lovers of Premier Inn and Motto services
Geoff is always entertaining and some say he’s a decent bloke. Please listen and help Geoff make it big so we can here some stories about a wider range of hotels than Premier Inn and Travel Lodge.
