Geoff often appears on Times Radio and is also the host of the popular podcast WHAT MOST PEOPLE THINK. His satirical comment has found its way into national publications with articles appearing in The Times, The Sunday Telegraph, The Independent and The New Statesman, and Geoff remains in high demand as a writer for TV too, with an impressive list of credits, including: Channel 4's ALTERNATIVE ELECTION, 8 OUT OF 10 CATS (C4), THE RANGANATION (BBC 2), JUDGE ROMESH (Dave), THE SARAH MILLICAN TELEVISION PROGRAMME (BBC 2), A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN (Sky 1), XMAS LIVE AT THE APOLLO (BBC 2), 8 OUT OF 10 CATS DOES COUNTDOWN (C4), and BACKSTAGE WITH KATHERINE RYAN (Amazon).

"He's a class act with a mature, sharp take on modern politics " - Sunday Times

As a rare right-winger, Geoff Norcott is a unique voice in British comedy. Having appeared on Live at the Apollo, Mash Report, Mock the Week and Question Time he's built up a significant live following with sell-out Edinburgh runs and two national tours. Operating outside the usual comedic commentary on politics and social issues, Geoff has carved a real niche for himself. With a documentary, bespoke TV formats plus a UK and international tour on the horizon, 2019 is set to be an even bigger year.
