Description

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*

STARMERGEDDON - Feat. Francis Foster

2026/04/21

Francis Foster joins me to pick the bones out of several days of chaos for our glorious PM. From the revelations in the Guardian, to his painful address in the commons down and then Olly Robbins testimony, we ask whether it's damaged him or confirmed what people already thought. Also - as Francis has a book on teaching coming out - we look at the govt's u-turn on banning mobile phones in schools. In the Patron only we react to Nigel Farage's surprising broadside against online racists. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

BREAKING NEWS - The Rise of The Femosphere?

2026/04/16

In this breaking news episode I discuss some eye-catching research which suggests young women are more hostile to young men than the other way around! I also chat about a BBC sting where people have so keen to pretend they're gay they've been doing selfies with Peter Tatchell. And Keir Starmer - prior to the news about Mandelson's appointment breaking after I recored - was in surprisingly chipper mood. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

SADIQ Vs SUVs - Feat. Mark Nelson

2026/04/14

Delighted to have Mark Nelson back on this week as we ponder everything from Sadiq looking for more ways to tax people to why Scottish politics is in its 'Post Pete Sampras' era. We also chat about a good old fashioned bit of woke nonsense as Sabrina Carpenter gets in trouble for not knowing Arabic chants from yodelling. In the Patron only Mark gives us a death story with a real twist. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

DEEP-FRIED TRIPLE-LOCK - Feat. Alun Cochrane

2026/04/07

The genial Alun Cochrane makes a welcome return as we discuss the starter gun being fired on local elections. We wonder whether the triple-lock is sustainable (whilst also knowing we're risking the wrath of boomers). Then we ask how Keir Starmer thinks not getting into a war will translate into votes for local govt. Also, what's a good/bad night for the Tories? No-one knows. In the Patron only we discuss the little sh*ts ram-raiding shops and what to do about it. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

BREAKING NEWS - Labour MP Likes a Periscope

2026/04/03

Please excuse the Carry On style title, but who doesn't love suggestive submarine based humour? I discuss the Labour MP with a thing for torpedos. In more serious matters, I reflect on Starmer trying to seem like a war-time leader, Robert Jenrick trying to seem like Jet 2 and the Tories coming off like a kid's cartoon.

ANOTHER BBC PRESENTER SCANDAL - Feat. Tom Walker (aka Jonathan Pie)

2026/04/01

Tom Walker returns to discuss another BBC presenter scandal as mystery surrounds the sacking of Scott Mills. We ask what the hell is going on with these presenter types? We also celebrate the long overdue changes in non-crime hate incidents and why Trump's Iran policy is like waiting for something to download. In the Patron only section we consider why bad comedy makes people more angry than bad consumer affairs programmes. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

BREAKING NEWS - The Dog Ate my Phone

2026/03/27

I discuss the 'far-fetched' belief that two of the dodgiest people in politics might have done something dodgy with their mobile phones. I also ponder whether Keir Starmer actually is the least sh*t option Labour has. I then talk about Reform doing two bad things and one good. There's also chat about the mental decision to drop an episode of Repair Shop due to some 'sexist' jokes. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

WHITE WORKING CLASS BOYS - Feat. Simon Evans

2026/03/25

Simon Evans is back this week as we ponder why no-one seems especially rattled by the possibility of missiles hitting London and financial armageddon. We also look at yet more research showing white working-class boys are falling behind academically and yet more apathy from those who should care about such things. In the Patron only we discuss the launch of SNL UK and how comedy became a culture war issue. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

BREAKING NEWS - Caustic Keir, Ambitious Angela & Dozy Davey

2026/03/20

A lot to unpack from the week: Starmer avoiding questions like I avoid service stations without a Greggs, Rayner on maneouvres, Davey's dodgy dance moves and the comedy radar of Donald J Trump. I also have another rant about men getting their shirts off in TV shows. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

INSIDE THE MANOSFEAR - Feat. Marcus Brigstocke

2026/03/17

This week Marcus Brigstocke makes a welcome return as we delve into revelations which suggest Keir Starmer is above all else a bit weird. We also wonder if - in the current hyper-active media landscape - a Margaret Thatcher could emerge. We move onto discuss Louis Theroux's new documentary about the manosphere, laughing at the some of the muppets in it but also remembering that it exists for a reason. In the Patron only we talk about plans to have signs warning people of AI content. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

Starmer Versus Trump & Blair - Feat. Andrew Doyle

2026/03/10

The brilliant Andrew Doyle returns to talk about coping with bad news and the prospect of everything getting more expensive. We discuss how non-interventionalist Trump intervening in everything is going down with the MAGA base. We also wonder if the war might save Keir's Job. Then it's a chat about the lack of working-class writers in TV and why female characters all end up being super-heroes. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

BREAKING NEWS - 'He's No Winston Churchill'

2026/03/05

Plenty discuss even since Monday! We've had Trump and Starmer in a war of words, Kemi Badenoch going in guns possibly too hot the spring statement and the Greens over-taking Labour all in a few short days. Also I hired an electric car and am not impressed, in the same way I wasn't a fan of SNL's sketch on Tourette's. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

OPERATION EPIC FURY - Feat. Davina Bentley

2026/03/03

Really interesting episode this week as the brilliant Davina Bentley makes her debut. We discuss the conflict in Iran, Labour sneaking out another ministerial casualty, social media bans for under 16's and being a dad - whilst somehow managing to turn almost every subject into a gender war.

BREAKING NEWS - Gorton & Denton By-Bye-Election?

2026/02/27

Here's some hot-off-the-press responses to the historic win by the Greens over the Labour Party. Is it curtains for Starmer? Was it good or bad for Reform? What the hell is 'family voting'? And how gutting must it be to lose your deposit? All these questions and more answered in this episode. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

By-Election Week / N-Word at the Baftas - Feat. Milo Edwards

2026/02/24

A WMPT debut this week. Milo Edwards is a smart and funny young man with a great back-story (which you'll hear more of in the Patron only). We discuss some final thoughts on the Gorton & Denton by-election. Then we delve into the absolute woke paradox that was the N-word at the Baftas.
