'He has become one of our most refreshingly funny comedians of any stripe.’ ★★★★ Dominic Maxwell, The Times
He’ll also reflect on how much he loves being a Dad but wonders if dads will ever get the same cultural credit mums do (not likely judging by mother’s day cards). Geoff’s also taking advantage of the rediscovered tolerance towards jokes being jokes to tell you what he really thinks. Above all, how much he judges people. Bad parents, fussy eaters, over eaters and anyone who wears a dressing gown beyond 9AM…it’s fair to say this time the gloves are off.
This is also Geoff’s first under a Labour government, so he’s got plenty to get off his chest! Not least because there’s nothing quite so British as being promised a brave new dawn then realising it’s as crap as the last one.
Geoff’s also reflecting on what it was like working during the high watermark of ‘woke’ – and a live TV appearance which could’ve easily ended his career. ‘Geoff Norcott is in his element on the stand-up stage.’ Daily Mail
