Geoff Norcott
Explore the intersection of humour and political insight to enrich your event with Geoff Norcott, speaker, comedian, and political commentator.
Geoff Norcott is a comedy writer and stand-up comedian known for his unique political perspective. He has built a reputation as a popular live performer who stands apart from many of his peers by identifying as ‘right-leaning’. In a landscape where most comedians lean left, Geoff offers an alternative viewpoint, engaging audiences with his insights without being dogmatic.
Growing up on a council estate, Geoff's background as a working-class boy informs his comedy. He transitioned from an English teacher to a comedian, using his experiences to challenge assumptions through well-crafted jokes and stories. His work often explores the distinction between genuine beliefs and the desire to provoke controversy.
This theme is encapsulated in the title of one of his successful Edinburgh shows, "Right Leaning but Well Meaning." The Telegraph has noted that Geoff is "objectively funny regardless of your politics," highlighting his ability to connect with a diverse audience. Geoff has appeared on various popular shows, including Live at the Apollo and 8 Out of 10 Cats. His political views have led to appearances on BBC2's The Mash Report, Question Time, Daily Politics, and Radio 4’s Today programme. He has also contributed written pieces to the Telegraph and New Statesman and has participated in the BBC's diversity panel. Through his work, Geoff continues to challenge the norms of political comedy while entertaining audiences across the UK.
