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*

BREAKING NEWS - Is The Uniparty Back?

2026/10/16

Was good to have a PMQs this week to crystallise all the big political issues. Is Andy Burnham a PM who likes to 'faff'? Is Kemi the military expert she thinks she is? And are we seeing a general revival in the fortunes of the uniparty? Elsewhere comedian Shane Gillis copped heat for use of the 'W' word, while Miley Cyrus faced very little clapback for body-shaming half the planet.

BURNHAM'S BREXIT BOTHER - Feat. Simon Evans

2026/10/13

The ever classy Simon Evans returns this week to ask what Andy Burnham's game is on Europe. We also look at the Bank of England firing a shot across his speedy boughs. Then it's onto discussion of surprise developments in the US, where we consider the sweetheart deal with Russia on oil and whether public executions could go pay-per-view. In the Patron only section we analyse Sandi Togsvig's plan for a rival to Wikipedia with a less than snappy name...

BREAKING NEWS - Labour Hold Off Green Pollution

2026/10/09

A by election special as I find myself in the weird position of being sort of glad Labour won. Will Burnham's recent bounce continue once he has to regularly answer questions. And has Zac Polanski gone from being the future of the left to having a future in telesales? Over on the right the Tories are weirdly happy about third place while Reform's demise may be over-stated (even if they are getting distracted by unnecessary BS).

DO THE TORIES HAVE KEMISTRY? - Feat. Jon Kogan

2026/10/06

Jon Kogan joins me for a chat about Tory party conference and whether Kemi's big memo is an important intervention or just sounds like an R&B album. We look at the shadow front-bench and why they all seem like mortgage brokers. Next we chat about the fact York council have been spending money to remind parents to, well...parent. In the patron only section we respond to the Green Party's outlandish motion on Zionism passed at their party conference.

BREAKING NEWS - Andy's Man City Mates

2026/10/01

I had to get back on the mic after Andy Burnham walked into his first big scandal as he chose to come down on the side of (checks notes) the Saudi billionaires who helped fund his 'Manchester miracle'. Will the PM regret his over-keen backing of Man City? I also reflect on his speech which was apparently the greatest single piece of oratory in our time.

BURNHAM POSTURES, POSTPONES AND PREENS - Feat. Dom Frisby

2026/09/29

It was great to have Dominic Frisby on this week's episode as we looked at some of the tinkering policies being floated at the Labour conferences. Dom has an epic rant about the govt interfering in the housing market while I have a savage realisation about my equity. We then talk about an advert claiming obesity is a 'disease' and 'not your fault'.

BREAKING NEWS - Tony Blair Sticks His Beak In

2026/09/25

LOADS to catch up on this week. From Andy Burnham's white knuckle ride sitting next to Donald Trump to Tony 'Only Meeeee' Blair sticking his beak in on the EU, it's all been going off in the last few days. Not only that there's been some good old fashioned 'woke nonsense' at a lesbian bar and the BBC have been removing comedy (again).

LABOUR CONFERENCE & A ROYAL RUMBLE - Feat. Marcus Brigstocke

2026/09/22

The ever engaging Marcus Brigstocke returns and I'm keen to find out his view on the end of Starmer and the start of Burnham (his passing fondness for Keir is a genuinely edgy take). We look ahead to Labour conference and realise the fringe meetings might be very boring this year. Then we move onto Charles Vs Charles as the Royal / Diana drama enters its fifth decade. In the Patron only we both acknowledge that once men hit 50 the only genuine thing of interest is the Second World War.

BREAKING NEWS - Mortgages & Sydney Sweeney

2026/09/18

One of the stranger titles for an episode but it's an honest reflection of the content. I discuss rising anxieties about govt lending and whether Labour have the stomach to do anything to avoid the seemingly inevitable interest rate rise.Elsewhere I take on the furore over Sydney Sweeney's advert: is she an enemy to female athletes or doing exactly what woke feminists said women should do?

FROM REFORM TO RE£££ORM - Feat. Ian Stone

2026/09/15

Ian Stone returns for this week's episode and we get straight into the big story surrounding Reform becoming crypto trust-fund babies. Is it morally wrong or are Labour just jealous? We then get into the complex issues surrounding Lyndsey Clancy's trial, where a juror who held a different view has become a public enemy among some progressives. In the Patron only Ian Stone describes a DEATH STORY so awkward even I got the flop sweats.

BURNHAM'S FIRST BIG BOO-BOO - Feat. Milo Edwards

2026/09/11

Milo Edwards returns to discuss Andy Burnham making his first major false move at PMQs and why the Tories were bouncing around like they had ADHD. We also disagree strongly about millionaires leaving the UK (I think it's bad btw). Then we have the quarterly chat about whether AI will end everything, before talking about crazy Donald's five grand giveaway in the Patron only section.

COULD FARAGE JUST JACK IT IN?

2026/09/09

After John Healey decided to introduce himself to the British public I get my head around the style and substance of what he had to say. Spoiler alert: there's not much of either. I also look back on a turbulent few days for Reform, the Channel 4 sting might not matter to the base but what will 'most people' think. And what is the true definition of 'loose pub talk'?

BREAKING NEWS - Same S**t Different Eyelashes

2026/09/03

Politics is back with a bang and I review Andy Burnham's first couple of days at big school. The style was good but was there any substance? Also how did his pledge to avoid petty point scoring go? Elsewhere the Tories had a reshuffle and I ask what would it take to make a Tory famous? CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

KEIR STARMER WITH A GUITAR? - Feat. Mark Steel

2026/09/01

Mark Steel makes a welcome return to preview Andy Burnham's first proper week in office: will his 'work in progress tour' still be effective in the big rooms? We make some very specific predictions. I also ask is really ok for men to cry, after Djokovic had a little blub on court after his first round exit in the US Open. In the Patron only we talk about how we've become less liberal on crime and why all Prime Ministers fear being photo-shopped with a spliff.

Breaking News - META-MORPHOSIS FOR TEENS & SCREENS

2026/08/28

As I get to the end of my Edinburgh Fringe run I discuss how this festival is destroying itself with left-wing economic thinking. Outside of that I ask why Andy Burnham is paying a grand for a pretend door. Friend of the show Reform's Robert Jenrick has been firing off yet more policy initiatives. Then I look at the landmark settlement in the State where Meta have tacitly acknowledged 1000 hours a day on their sites might not be that healthy.
