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*

CHRISTMAS SPECIAL 2025 - Feat. Romesh Ranganathan
Romesh returns for another Christmas cracker. We discuss what's in Keir Starmer's Christmas dinner, what films Kemi Badenoch watches and how insufferable Ed Davey is. Then it's onto festival games where we laugh a lot and somehow come up with a collective noun for a group of anus. In the Patreon only Romesh shares a bad gig death story which means he can never go back to Leicester...

Who's Had A Good 2025? - Feat. Simon Evans
In this bumper episode myself and Simon Evans consider all the big moments from the main political parties and give their leaders a score out of 10. No spoilers, but it's extra tuition for Ed Davey, keep it up for Kemi, gold star for Nigel and special measures for Starmer.

BREAKING NEWS - Nigel Farage Vs The Black & White Minstrels
I react to one of the more surprising political stories of the year as Nigel Farage goes on the counter-offensive against the BBC's back-catalogue. We also talk about Calamity Lammy's attempts to sell jury-free trials to the public. However there's praise for Wes Streeting as he shrewdly attempts to prove the blindingly obvious about mental health.

* BUDGET REACTION SPECIAL *
I had to re-record as this as my first effort was far too angry ! I get into the budget Rachel promised she'd never have to do again. I'm undeniably angry that it hit me in the balls, but also will it hamper growth too? I then look at increasingly confident Kemi's response and suggest her growing popularity is because we're all crying out for strong matriarchs.

LABOUR TALK TUFF ON IMMMIGRATION - Feat. Pierre Novellie
The whip-smart Pierre Novellie returns to discuss Shabana apparently being in the Mahmoud to fix the home office. We also ask whether Trump bankrupting the BBC is such a great outcome after all, while also examining some of the emerging splits in MAGA. Then it's onto censorship, as establishment p**ck Paddington forces the removal of jokes about him.

BREAKING NEWS - Starmer Coup Drama
A lot to digest since this week's main episode. I discuss Keir Starmer 'stabbing himself in the front' by letting his own paranoia give Wes Streeting to demonstrate he might be a better option (funnier at least). In another tricky week, growth is down and unemployment is up...I think we all know how this movie ends.

TRUMP VS THE BBC - Feat. Rachel Fairburn
The lovely Rachel Fairburn returns this week and we get into how the hell the BBC ended up on the wrong side of a fake news argument with Donald. Then it's another beeb scandal as Have I Got News For You airs not one, but two C-bombs! In the Patreon only I get Rachel's view on rising misandry and women who are gutted about giving birth to boys.

BREAKING NEWS - Hammy David Lammy
A lot to digest this week after Rachel Reeves dumped on everyone's cornflakes on Tuesday then David Lammy almost made us throw up our lunch the following day. In between times needy Nigel continued his desire to be a news story once a week by rowing back on everything he said about tax - plus the Tory MP who missed an open goal.
