What Most People Think with 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*

Had to do another episode ahead of going away until next Friday, not least because Ole Slippery Starmer's Palestine plan seems to be unravelling quickly - even for him. Not just that, Peter Kyle has been out calling other politicians nonces while young people seem to be breaking for Jeremy and Nigel. I ask 'why are young women so easily seduced by the far Left?'

Delighted to have Francis Foster back on the show as we consider the impact of the online safety act for for expression (porn, basically). We react also to the super tense press conference with Trump & Starmer looking like a man waiting for an elderly relative to say something dodgy. We then look at the issue of two Jewish comics cancelled by their Edinburgh venues despite their shows not being political. I guess it's Fringe ca...
Delighted to welcome back fellow veteran clubber Ian Stone this week. As Parliament headed to recess it gave us the chance to consider the water review (and make puns about it). We also reflected on giving 16 year olds the vote (they'll probably end up voting for Nigel or Jeremy). Then we chatted Trump for the first time in a while: is he on the Epstein list? Is he going a bit mad? All shall be revealed...
Didn't think there would be enough news for a breaking news then it all kicks off! BLAM - Starmer suspends 4 Labour backbenchers. KAPOW - Tories & Labour up to their necks in the Afghan data leak row (which I've tried my best to unpack so you don't have to). Plus I bemoan having to multi-task.

The brilliant Simon Evans returns to discuss a bit of family friction between Labour and the Unions (we also reflect on how it might sound hearing Angela say 'silly stunts'). Also - after some classic Noughties sitcoms have had trigger warnings imposed - we ask what IS the point? In the Patreon only section we ask if Oasis' reunion heralds the return of guitar bands and young men acting like kn*bs.
Another breaking news following a week of interesting medium size stories: from a fiery PMQs to the booing of Nigel Farage - plus we ask 'What's going on with the Tories?' (spoiler alert - not much)....I also bemoan the standard of hotel air-con.

A brilliant new guest this week as Scott Capurro makes his WMPT. For my money, Scott is one of the most genuinely controversial comics i've worked with and it was great to get his uncompromising takes on everything from a recent Labour poll on Starmer to the fact London Pride marches aren't what they were. In the Patreon only we discuss offence in comedy and why Scott might get more than cancelled if he release one particular routi...
Happy Starmerversary! A special episode as I look back on a surprisingly turbulent first year in office. How did a political landslide not seem to move any of the buildings? Why is Starmer less nimble than a 90 year old who had to sleep on the floor. These questions and more answered.

An interesting episode as music becomes politics with Kneecap and Bob Vylan making headlines from the festival. Simon Brodkin joins me to discuss where criticism of Israel stops and anti-semitism beings (and also how hot the kneecap lads must've been in the balaclava). We also chat about Starmer's worst seven day period since becoming PM. We also ask whether he thinks the 'two tier' nickname is actually quite cool.
Had a late guest drop out, which gave me the chance to get stuck into some fairly big news stories which have broke since last week. From Trump bombing Iran's nuclear facilities to Starmer seemingly not having a view either way. From bad economic news to Farage robbing the rich to feed the poor. I also discuss the BBC News presenter bold enough to correct some language around pregnancy.
Bit of a smorgasbord this week as I pick up some political loose ends, including 'Big Ange' looking good at PMQS and problems with the Tory 'talent' pool. I also suggest the changes in reproductive rights might be a surprise to most people. Then I get into correspondence from actual policeman on why coppers ain't what they were.
