What Most People Think With Geoff Norcott

This episode we talk to comedy lone wolf Alistair Williams. Al has a fascinating story to tell about his brush with comedy's thought police. He took it right to the limit, sharing a stage with a certain Nigel Farage. Luckily he's lived to tell a fascinating tale. We also look at Trump, Extinction Rebellion and gender fluidity. And of course there's the crucial question of who'd win in a fight between Jo Swinson and Priti Patel.

It's just us for this one. I use this as a chance to catch up on the huge political goings on since the last episode. We talk prorogation, Labour conference, Emily Thornberry's mad speech, the 'dangerous metaphors' being used in the House of Commons and much more.  I also do a few letters as we look at jockeying for position with a 14 year old son, my undeniable  weight gain, train arseholes and who'd win a fight between George Galloway and Nick Griffin.   Follow Geoff on: TWITTER - https://twitter.com/geoffnorcott FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/Geoffnorcottcomedy/ INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/geoff_norcott/ YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/user/GeoffNorcott Sign up to Geoff's mailing list here: http://bit.ly/GeoffNorcott Learn more about your ad choices.

After bitching about moving house I have a quick re-cap of the latest hypocrisy coming out of the Remain Alliance. We then get into a fun and fascinating chat with Dominic Frisby. Dom is a complete one off, stand-up, economist and passionate Brexiteer. We talk about his upcoming book and his contempt for taxation as well as his hit Pro-Brexit song '17 million f**k offs'. We end with the crucial contemplation of who would win a fight between Hitler and Mussolini. In men's mental I have a little boo-hoo over the loneliness at the top of being an alpha male bread winner.   Follow Geoff on: TWITTER - https://twitter.com/geoffnorcott FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/Geoffnorcottcomedy/ INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/geoff_norcott/ YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/user/GeoffNorcott Sign up to Geoff's mailing list here: http://bit.ly/GeoffNorcott Learn more about your ad choices.

Henning Wehn rarely does podcasts or interviews, so I was chuffed to get him on my show. We spoke about his early experiences of British comedy audiences, the differences between our national approaches to humour and the political landscape in Germany. We also contemplated the key issue of who’d win in a fight between Chukka Ummuna and Sajid Javid. Men’s mental health also makes a return as we discuss the frankly ridiculous notion that men don’t also get trapped in toxic relationships.

Recorded while at the Edinburgh Fringe. I have a chat with the gentle giant, Scottish Conservative comic Leo Kearse. He's nice off stage, but on it he's happy to tear into woke orthodoxies. We talk about his economic views before moving onto the nature of offence and one particular critic who marked him down for his politics. We discuss his show 'Transgressive' and how he got banned from his own venue before even doing his first show. Of course we have an imaginary political fight. This week it's between Emily Thornberry and Anne Widdecombe.   Follow Geoff on: TWITTER - https://twitter.com/geoffnorcott FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/Geoffnorcottcomedy/ INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/geoff_norcott/ YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/user/GeoffNorcott Sign up to Geoff's mailing list here: http://bit.ly/GeoffNorcott Learn more about your ad choices.

This is one of my favourites, a chat with the bloke that got me interested in talking about politics and social commentary on-stage, Ian Stone. He communicates with such clarity and humour, it was a real pleasure to discuss the issues of the day with him. We talk about everything from his experience of anti-semitism, to the Royal Family and who would win in a fight between John McDonnell and Michael Heseltine. If you haven't listened to the podcast before, this is a great place to start.   Follow Geoff on: TWITTER - https://twitter.com/geoffnorcott FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/Geoffnorcottcomedy/ INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/geoff_norcott/ YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/user/GeoffNorcott Sign up to Geoff's mailing list here: http://bit.ly/GeoffNorcott Learn more about your ad choices.

Following up on my documentary 'How the Middle Class Ruined Britain' I respond to some feedback from the show. I look at the phrase 'Bond girl' being banned on the set of the new film. We also look at the Trans Bollock Waxgate. And of course we discuss the man who is apparently going to bring Britain to its knees: Boris.   Follow Geoff on: TWITTER - https://twitter.com/geoffnorcott FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/Geoffnorcottcomedy/ INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/geoff_norcott/ YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/user/GeoffNorcott Sign up to Geoff's mailing list here: http://bit.ly/GeoffNorcott Learn more about your ad choices.

Apologies for the hiatus, I’m back with Episode 10! This week free speech warrior Konstantin Kisin sits in with me to look at some of the big social and political issues of the week. We go all from Boris and anti-semetism to the Little Mermaid, Women’s world cup and Ivan Drago. Konstantin also has fascinating stories to tell regarding his own brushes with censorship.   Follow Geoff on: TWITTER - https://twitter.com/geoffnorcott FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/Geoffnorcottcomedy/ INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/geoff_norcott/ YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/user/GeoffNorcott Sign up to Geoff's mailing list here: http://bit.ly/GeoffNorcott Learn more about your ad choices.

After a quick round-up of the reefer-toking line-snorting Tory candidates, we get into an illuminating chat with Simon Evans. This is a real meeting of minds: a clever one, and mine. We get Simon’s unique take on Brexit and the liberal bubble. Simon also highlights a hilarious reason why Hilary Clinton failed. We close with the letters and a truly heroic tale of one man’s stand against the in-laws.   Follow Geoff on: TWITTER - https://twitter.com/geoffnorcott FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/Geoffnorcottcomedy/ INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/geoff_norcott/ YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/user/GeoffNorcott Sign up to Geoff's mailing list here: http://bit.ly/GeoffNorcott Learn more about your ad choices.

After a quick catch-up on Remain’s bizarre Euro Election logic, I have a fun chat with Romesh. We talk about his new TV show, the cranky left, his issue with militant vegans and the challenge of raising three boys. Then we get onto the advice section and it all gets a bit raw. Keep an eye on volume if listening without headphones.   Follow Geoff on: TWITTER - https://twitter.com/geoffnorcott FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/Geoffnorcottcomedy/ INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/geoff_norcott/ YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/user/GeoffNorcott Sign up to Geoff's mailing list here: http://bit.ly/GeoffNorcott Learn more about your ad choices.

We have a quick catch up about me somehow blagging my way into the BAFTAs. We'll look at the EU elections, the rise of the Brexit Party, the fall of Change UK and the Lib Dem somehow regaining their mojo. Then we talk TV and Fleabag vs. Mrs Brown's Boys, before looking at the mysterious disappearance of the word 'housewife'. Also I break my own personal record for swearing.   Follow Geoff on: TWITTER - https://twitter.com/geoffnorcott FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/Geoffnorcottcomedy/ INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/geoff_norcott/ YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/user/GeoffNorcott Sign up to Geoff's mailing list here: http://bit.ly/GeoffNorcott Learn more about your ad choices.

I start off by talking about the storm around me following the announcement of the BBC diversity panel. I then have a lovely long chat with the one and only Katherine Ryan. We talk modern sensitivities in comedy, gender and the idea of ‘1970’s workplace day’ We close by trying to give good advice to men but possibly failing. Oh and I talk too much generally.   Follow Geoff on: TWITTER - https://twitter.com/geoffnorcott FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/Geoffnorcottcomedy/ INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/geoff_norcott/ YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/user/GeoffNorcott Sign up to Geoff's mailing list here: http://bit.ly/GeoffNorcott Learn more about your ad choices.

In light of the Extinction Rebellion protests, Geoff is honest about his own careless relationship with the planet. There’s a broadside against Co-op for hopping on the corporate virtue signalling band-wagon by de-gendering the gingerbread man. We also look at the increasing pressure on men to look good and how that might end up with women being the dirty old men of the future. Finally, this week’s men’s mental health focus is on being present in the moment, staying focused... sorry I switched off.   Follow Geoff on: TWITTER - https://twitter.com/geoffnorcott FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/Geoffnorcottcomedy/ INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/geoff_norcott/ YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/user/GeoffNorcott Sign up to Geoff's mailing list here: http://bit.ly/GeoffNorcott Learn more about your ad choices.

Geoff does a round-up of all recent Brexit developments. From dodgy numbers on the people’s march to flouncy Nick Boles and the PM getting it on with comrade Corbyn. We also look at Liberal indoctrination of their younglings and the perils of soft play for Dads. In Men’s Health it gets a bit serious… sort of, but there’s still talk of Spitfires.

My very first guest is a good'un - Andrew Doyle, excellent stand-up and the man behind Twitter spoof sensation Titania McGrath. We have a wide-ranging chat about Titania’s book, being trolled by the left, identity politics, Brexit, Christchurch and end up discussing the danger of seeing dick pics on gay men’s phones. I conclude the show as normal with a chat about men’s mental health. This time I try to make sense of anxiety, but end up making loads of shit cricket analogies. Which may well be a symptom of anxiety.

Geoff takes on the resurgent argument for another referendum as well as the madness of Macron & Terminator level focus of Theresa May. There’s also a telling off for Tom Watson and his obsession with Tony the Tiger. Geoff examines pot shots from woke comics and wonders why women leave things on the bottom step of the stairs. He also says it’s ok for men to cry...sort of. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In this debut episode, Geoff climbs into the newly formed TIG and the Labour culture that helped spawn them. There’s also talk of Honda and arch nemesis Donald Tusk. On social issues Geoff climbs into middle-class obsessions and the misguided debate around men’s mental health.
