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*

119: EP 119 - (Feat. Konstantin Kisin) Four Horsemen of The Tory Apocalypse
The brilliant Konstantin Kisin is back with us to discuss his fears on rising Covid authoritarianism. We also look at the state of the Tory Party lobbing out policy ideas seemingly at random. But most disturbingly of all - for reasons I'd rather not think about - I call Konstantin 'Candice'.

118: EP 118 - NICK DIXON
This is a fascinating chat with the excellent Nick Dixon. We talk about his experience earlier this year of being 'cold shouldered' by the comedy industry for something as simple as a tweet. Not only that we talk about his presence on GB News and why he feels so passionately about face-masks.

117: EP 117 - Geoff Back on the Warpath!
After a couple of more gentle guest shows it's fair to say Geoff has a lot to get off his chest this week. From activist head-teachers to Diet Liberals and complacent Labour voters, he's back on the front foot.

115: EP 115 - ADAM ROWE
So I've finally given into diversity targets and had a scouser on the show. Adam is a brilliant comic who is unafraid to both go for the govt and the more censorious ends of the Left. Before that we talk about NHS lies and puppy terrorism.

114: EP 114 - Cancel Culture, The 'Myth' that keeps on Mything
Plenty to talk about this week. We talk about the shocking sacking of Terry Gilliam for the usual reason: stuff that he said which some delicate flowers found upsetting. We also talk Facist chicken packaging and how the hell you slow down once you've been busy.

113: EP 113 - (Feat. Ian Stone) Typical Big Spending Tories
I laughed a lot recording this week's podcast with the brilliant Ian Stone. We spoke about the budget and the Tories becoming like some kind of Blair/Brown hybrid. We spoke about poo and the sea and finally - reluctantly - I talk about about climate change.
