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*

99: EP 99 - ALUN COCHRANE
Delighted to have Alun Cochrane on the show this, especially after so many requests from the Patreons. Alun is a seriously smart and funny comic, who's been on a bit of a journey in terms of his relationship with the comedy circuit. It's fair to say he doesn't buy into the comedy groupthink. Not one bit.

We discuss the back end of the Hancock affair and wonder if Sajid might savour restrictions a little less, before looking at Oxfam's bizarre attitude towards 'whiteness'.

91: Second Cummings
This week focuses heavily on classic Dom's testimony at the select committee. Was he telling the truth? Should Hancock go? Does anyone need to show that much chest hair?

90: MATT FORDE
As you'd expect, the chat with Matt is both funny and politically insightful, but what he also delivers is one of the most convincing analysis of what's going on with Sturgeon and the SNP. Matt also gives his view on the Labour malaise which is hard to argue with, and we also discuss how scary Green Party activists can be!
