Geoff Norcott – Political Comic
Undermining the assumption that a comedian from a working-class background who used to be a teacher must take a left-wing view of the world, Geoff Norcott takes aim at all political persuasions while considering the difficulties of being ‘right-leaning but well-meaning’.
Different
Describing himself as ‘right-leaning’, Geoff is subverting the view that all comedians automatically take a left-wing view of politics and the world. Especially relevant in these politically unpredictable times, he delivers an alternative view without being dogmatic or uncritical of all political persuasions. A working-class boy who grew up on a council estate to become an English teacher, Geoff contradicts many assumptions with well-crafted topical jokes, asides and stories. He looks at the difference between genuine beliefs and being controversial for the sake of it and what it means to be, as in the title of one of his hit Edinburgh shows, ‘right-leaning but well-meaning’. The Telegraph has described Geoff as “objectively funny regardless of your politics.”
His ability to blend humour with insightful commentary has made him a unique and influential voice in the world of entertainment and current affairs. With a diverse array of talents and a distinctive perspective, Geoff continues to captivate audiences across the UK and beyond.
Touring
As a stand-up comedian, Geoff has embarked on several national tours, including “Taking Liberties” in 2019 and 2020, as well as “I Blame the Parents” in 2021/2022. What sets Geoff apart in the stand-up world is his rare perspective as a comedian who leans to the right, making him a sought-after social commentator on political and current affairs shows like Politics Live (BBC One), Peston (ITV), and All Out Politics (Sky News).
Television Appearances
In addition to the likes of Live at the Apollo and 8 Out of 10 Cats, Geoff has featured on BBC Two satire show The Mash Report, and his political stance has seen him appear on Question Time, Daily Politics, and Radio 4’s Today programme.
