Due to popular demand, and after numerous sell out performances, Geoff Norcott, star of BBC’s Live At The Apolloand The Mash Report, has extended his national tour of Traditionalism. The additional autumn leg will see Geoff will move up to playing a number of 300-seater venues.
Geoff Norcott became one of The Mash Report stars to go viral with his takedown of Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell clocking up over half a million views across Facebook and Twitter. Among those to flag up the clip was the high profile political blog, Guido Fawkes. Geoff has also recently recorded a BBC Radio 4 special, Right Leaning but Well Meaning, due for transmission in May.
Traditionalism deals with the world changing at a dizzying rate. Geoff is trying to hold modern views but worries that tradition is becoming a dirty word.
Meanwhile, in this divisive political climate, a Conservative and Leave-voting comedian is certainly a rare breed.
Geoff is happy to pick fights with the liberal choir on subjects including identity politics and Europe and wrestle with the idea of toxic masculinity. However, in the spirit of equality, he’s also not averse to the odd dig at his own side (‘An equal opportunities satirist’ says the Evening Standard).
As a satirical comic, Geoff has written for Channel 4’s Alternative Election Night, featured as a guest on Question Time (BBC One), This Week (BBC One), Daily Politics (BBC Two), and supported Katherine Ryan on her UK tour. Geoff is also a regular on BBC Radio with appearances on The Now Show, Breaking the News, the Today programme and his own forthcoming Radio 4 stand-up special. Due to popular demand, extra performances were added in for Geoff’s Edinburgh Fringe run for a second year in a row and he also enjoyed multiple sell-out dates on last year’s national tour.
