Live Nation in association with Sophie Chapman Talent Presents

GEOFF NORCOTT – BASIC BLOKE 2 – THERE’S NO BLOKE WITHOUT FIRE

NOTE – THIS IS THE FULL VERSION OF GEOFF’S WORK IN PROGRESS SHOW. AS SUCH, IT’S LIKELY TO CONTAIN SOME MATERIAL FROM APRIL’S WIP PERFORMANCE AT THE COURTHOUSE

New national tour 2025-2026 for star of Have I Got News For You, The Last Leg, Would I Lie to You?, Live At The Apollo, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Backstage With Katherine Ryan, The Mash Report, The News Quiz, Geoff Norcott’s Working Men’s Club and many more!

‘He has become one of our most refreshingly funny comedians of any stripe.’ ★★★★ – Dominic Maxwell, The Times

Basic Bloke 2 – is Geoff’s first TOUR under a Labour government, so he’s got plenty to get off his chest!

Geoff’s also taking advantage of the rediscovered tolerance towards jokes being jokes to tell you what he really thinks. How much he judges people. Bad parents, people who eat too much, anyone who wears a dressing gown beyond 9am…it’s fair to say the gloves are off.

‘The Laughs roll in like waves.’ ★★★★ – Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard

Unlike most sequels, Basic Bloke 2 will move beyond some of the themes of the original (while fully aware that a comedian doing a ‘sequel’ at all is a bit ridiculous).

He’s been moving in male mental health circles for a while how, but while they’re all saying blokes should ‘check in’ on each other, he’s wondering what happens if you do ‘check in’ all the time but they mainly want to send you politically incorrect memes.

‘Geoff Norcott is in his element on the stand-up stage.’ – Daily Mail
