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, Katherin... more

  • Vote Norcott

    Boomer Here!

    Ask not what you can do for Geoff Norcott but what Geoff Norcott can do for you. He watches PMQs so you don’t have to 😅. He delivers, hands down the very best Starmer impersonation this side of a Surrey TOOLmaker 😂 (never gets old).

    While I appreciate the sacrifices made by the brave suffragettes in laying down their lives to win us our rights to vote. I’ve been unable to avail myself of the privilege since 2010 as since such time no single credible candidate or viable party has e... more

    This is a fantastic podcast and I look forward to every episode. It’s comedy but current affairs and politics are often discussed. Geoff has been lazily labelled far right (really??), but he has guests from one end of the political spectrum to the other and they all have a laugh together. This podcast is mainly good fun and Geoff is, hands down, the best impersonator of Starmer’s voice. If an episode goes by without it I feel hard done by. Geoff - you often read out your reviews. If you read mi... more
