Geoff Norcott

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.

We have a guest! I managed to bodge together a WhatsApp interview with the brilliant Stephen Grant.

We also come to the conclusion that the entire England squad should each build a hospital.

29: EP 29 - Banter From The Bunker
Well, it was going to be a pandemic to make me up my output. In the first lockdown episode, we look at the immediate impact of recent measures, from the serious political dimensions to getting elbowed by pensioners in Iceland. We also have a lot of letters, including one from Phil which is frankly diabolical.

(plus the worst ever idea for a game show).

So I had the rug pulled by the surprise resignation of the Saj! We also talk about the Oscars and those luvvie luvvies speeches. We get it into why it might not be ok to wear off the shoulder dresses in the House of Commons and why Phillip Schofield's revelation isn't as clear cut as people in the media make out. In the letters we discuss the crucial issue of shooting pains in the batty.

25: EP 25 - (feat. Christopher Snowdon) See EU Later / Nanny State
After a decent catch up on Britain finally leaving the EU, I talk Nanny State with the one & only Christopher Snowdon. We talk vaping, smoking, drinking, gambling, taking drugs - all the good stuff really. In the letters we talk about the CEO who wanted to ban men talking about football. There's also the crucial question of which Labour Leadership candidate would be capable of putting up a tent.

24: EP 24 - A Right Royal Catch-Up
In this episode I do what the Queen couldn't and get to grips with Meghan and Harry. There's the comedy goldmine of the Manchester Grooming gang scandal. Then I lighten things up by laughing at the slapstick Labour Leadership contest. I also think I broke some sort of record for saying f**k. I just broke it again!
