  • Geoff Norcott
    Live Nation by arrangement with Troika present… Geoff Norcott: Taking Liberties As seen on Live at the Apollo, Mock the Week, The Mash Report and Question Time Winner of Best Comedy at the BBC Radio & Music Awards, March 2019 Biggest UK Tour to date: 19 September - 16 November, 2019 ‘He’s a class act with a mature, sharp take on modern politics’ Sunday Times Geoff Norcott’s unique brand of provocative stand-up is hitting the road again with ‘Taking Liberties’. Whatever the contentious subject – he’ll be honest and blunt without being a dick. Mostly. Beyond left/right party politics and Brexit, Geoff Norcott has realised the main thing that motivates his political persuasion is that he hates being told what to do. Whether it's Eurocrats, ministers, cultural icons or his wife of 15 years, Geoff just can't stand anyone having power over him. It's a bad time to feel this way. With rising ‘Nanny State’ legislations coming from a supposedly right- wing government and ever greater controls on food, lifestyle and language choices, 'Taking Liberties' is both a statement on what Geoff fears is happening and his intent to playfully push the envelope. ‘An absolute tonic’ **** The Telegraph Other than Live At The Apollo, The Mash Report and Mock the Week, Geoff’s also appeared frequently on Question Time and can be regularly seen putting the cat amongst the pigeons on UK political debate shows, including This Week, Daily Politics and Politics Live. Geoff’s other broadcast credits include: Comedy Bigmouths, The Wright Stuff, Jeremy Vine and Edinburgh Nights.
