What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott
Geoff Norcott
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*

190: EP 190 - OH GARY, GARY...
Early upload this week as I'd rather share my thoughts on the Lineker psychodrama here than on Twitter.

188: 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 184 - PHIL WANG
After a quick rant about Sturgeon and Alastair Campbell I have a lovely chat with Phil Wang. He says some of the wises things i've ever heard about comedy and also reveals himself to be highly unpredictable as to where he fits into the politics of the comedy world. Also makes a bold prediction about christianity being like vinyl.

182: EP 182 - AGENDA NEUTRAL
It's a solo show this week, with plenty to get stuck into. From eerie silence over good economic news to Starmer's word salad over self ID & the hilarious furore over the gender neutral Brits nominations. I also bemoan the untimely demise of Lad's mags.
