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 248 - Flailing Rishicopter And a Harsh Lesson For Bud Light
This week I catch up on all the fallout from the local elections which seemed to get worse for the Tories the longer things went. I discuss whether Andy Street was harshly dealt with and if the Greens expected their victorious candidate in Leeds to say 'Allahu Akbar'. We also look at Bud Light rowing back from social justice issues and wonder if it's part of a wider trend.

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.

Customer Reviews
Humorous and intelligent
Finally someone brave and intelligent enough to take a humorous angle on British politics with a right of centre slant, but still knows when to give the Tories what they deserve. Only constructive feedback would be to stop saying what “old man views” you have because you have at least one female Human Resources professional nodding and laughing along with you!
From … A vegan listener
Well, this is the second time I give you 5-star review; c’mon, you can tell your listeners you have a vegan fan, it’s okay! By the way, I did understand the humour behind your comments… when the vegans attacked you on social media, or something along those lines; so, please, don’t hate us all, some of us do have a sense of humour. Loved listening to the excerpts from your book! I was LOL’ing when you said that everyone was doing the Conga - in regard to someone winning an election, etc. You are hilarious! Planning on buying your book. :)
PS: Watch The Game Changers on Netflix: about lots of manly men that are professional athletes discussing the benefits of a plant-based diet. ;)
Keeps me in touch
I’ve recently moved to the US and have found Geoff’s podcast invaluable in keeping in touch with the views of the common man. I used to rely on LBC and London Cabbies but unfortunately the Uber drivers Stateside are not as forthright with their views. It’s definitely funnier than the Moral Maze, which is one of the other podcasts I subscribe to.
