Geoff Norcott, who, it is claimed, is the UK’s only declared Conservative comedian, is to tour with his latest show Conswervative. The UK dates start with a show at the Leicester Square Theatre on March 9.
A trade unionist’s son who grew up on a council estate, Norcott is wondering how the hell he ended up leaning to the right.
However, in the last year, defending his political stance has become the least of his problems. From having to justify his Leave vote to distancing himself from the rise of the sinister ‘alt-right’, Geoff is fire-fighting by turning his satirical eye on the British liberal left.
In Conswervative Geoff comes to terms with being a class traitor while also taking uncompromising stances on issues ranging from depression, benefit fraud and the maudlin British obsession with the NHS. Malingerers are still welcome, just don’t expect concessions.
Norcott is a Leicester Comedy Festival Best New Show nominee and has been a writer for Channel 4’s Alternative Election Night (2015), BBC1’s Live At The Apollo, BBC2’s The Sarah Millican Television Programme, 8 Out Of 10 Cats and Alan Carr’s Happy Hour (both C4), and Sky 1’s A League of Their Own.
