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*

134: EP 134 - Hostages, Ferries and Travelodge Tragedy
It's a solo episode this week as there's so much to talk about. I rant about a current lack of objectivity in reporting the the government. A lack of any sense in the NHS's treatment of a woman in the case of a trans sexual assault. And a lack of any dignity in a recent experience I had at a Travelodge.

129: EP 129 - RUSSELL KANE
Despite being officially on holiday, I got ahead and scheduled this great chat with Russell Kane. Russell is a brilliant live stand-up but here we get a sense of his all around savvy in and around issues of class and censorship.

128: EP 128 - Joe & Jimmy
After some thoughts on the 'jostling' of Keir Starmer we go deep on the whole Joe Rogan thing. After that we lurch straight into a chat about all the issues arising from Jimmy Carr's 'joke' ps - whatever you thought, it definitely was a joke.
