Geoff Norcott

A comedian with a big future ahead of him"  - The Mirror 2009

Everything Geoff Norcott does is under-pinned by enthusiasm, optimism and a sharp comic mind. Whether it be on the comedy circuit, where Geoff’s abundance of energy combined with a storming mix of observations, impressions and satire has made him a hugely popular act both in the UK and abroad. Or on television, where Geoff recently went from co-presenter to become the main anchor on the ETV’s WKD Shed Sports Show - his sharp one-liners becoming a popular feature of the nightly debates.


Geoff has also starred in “Spoof”, an impressions show for BBC1/CBBC and recently filmed a comedy drama pilot for the BBC alongside Alexander Armstrong.

Geoff’s growing number of radio appearances include frequent guest spots on Talksport, where he endeavours to see the funny side of cricket and regular spots on BBC Radio 5, including Andy Zaltzman’s “Yes, It’s The Ashes”.

As a former English literature teacher, Geoff is a refreshing and humorous commentator on any issues related to education. He is also emerging as a vibrant writer, having written for ‘The Now Show’ (BBC Radio 4), ‘Parsons & Naylor’ (BBC Radio 2) & comedy sketches for MTV. In 2007 & 2008 he was also a commissioned writer for Nuts TV, writing and presenting a daily sports show. He’s currently devising a new sketch show for CBBC.

This year Geoff had a very successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe with his second solo show, “The Shocking Truth About Men And Women”. He received four 4 star reviews, including the following praise from John Nicholson at The Mirror:

“His great achievement with this show is to connect with everyone there - I doubt there was anyone who couldn't recognize themselves or their partner's attitudes at some point. This is testament to his writing skill as much as his performing skill, and its no surprise to learn that he's worked on scripts for TV and radio shows. … Throughout the hour he was funny without being aggressive; witty without being aloof. All of which goes to suggest that Geoff Norcott is a comedian with a big future ahead of him”. The Mirror 2009
