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*

164: EP 164 - JOSH HOWIE
After a catch-up on the Royal Funeral and Vladimir Putin, I talk to the bright and funny Josh Howie.
Josh has an incredble story to tell about being a Jewish Labour voter during the Corbyn years and the journey he went on politically. We also talk about his spiritual life and how he met his own version of Alfie Solomun from Peaky Blinders.

161: Ep 161 - MARK STEEL
Delighted to have Mark Steel on the show this week. We meandered from comedy to politics and back to comedy again. Covering immature Labour politicians wearing silly t-shirts, whether Tory leadrers really are getting more Fascist & whether anyone should ever kiss a Lib Dem.

156: EP 156 - 'Call Him Sunak FFS!' Feat. IAN STONE
The brilliant Ian Stone co-hosts this week, so I picked his comedic centre-left brain about the current political big stories.
In fact we spoke about politics for most of the show, but there was also time for me to hate on festival goers and give a tip on snigging bed-sheets.
