About Geoff Norcott
Geoff Norcott has established himself as a unique voice in British comedy by offering a perspective that frequently contrasts with the traditional political leanings of the circuit. Raised on a South London council estate, he transitioned from a career as an English teacher to become a highly respected writer and performer. He is widely recognised for his ability to blend sharp topical humour with an approachable style, famously describing himself as right-leaning but well-meaning to challenge the stereotypes associated with various political viewpoints. His work has been praised by The Telegraph as being objectively funny to audiences of all convictions.
A familiar face on television and radio, his credits include Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week, and 8 Out of 10 Cats. He has also been a regular contributor to The Mash Report and has brought his distinct viewpoint to serious discussion programmes such as Question Time and Radio 4's Today. Beyond the stage, he has written for major publications including The Daily Telegraph, The Independent, and the New Statesman, and served as a member of the BBC diversity panel. His commitment to his craft even saw him receive an Operational Service Medal for his work entertaining British troops during five tours of Afghanistan.
Geoff is more recently known for his successful touring shows, including Conswervative and Traditionalism, alongside the release of his book Where Did I Go Right?. He is frequently booked for his ability to navigate complex political landscapes with wit and charm, making him a standout choice for events that require a comedian who combines cultural relevance with a balanced, perceptive delivery.
On stage, Geoff Norcott is best known for talks on Comedy, Political Commentary and Entertainment. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room.
