Friday 18th June 2021
Geoff Norcott
"He's a class act with a mature, sharp take on modern politics " - Sunday Times
As a rare right-winger, Geoff Norcott is a unique voice in British comedy. Having appeared on Live at the Apollo, Mash Report, Mock the Week and Question Time he's built up a significant live following with sell-out Edinburgh runs and two national tours. Operating outside the usual comedic commentary on politics and social issues, Geoff has carved a real niche for himself. With a documentary, bespoke TV formats plus a UK and international tour on the horizon, 2019 is set to be an even bigger year.
"A Right laugh" - Guardian
Supporting Geoff is, six foot Aussie brassy comedian Pam Ford with more lip than a duck billed platypus. Writer for 8 Out of 10 Cats and The Mash Report. Warm-up for The Graham Norton Show Robin Morgan and all hosted by MC Cerys Nelmes!

Double Edinburgh Award nominee and the First Black British stand-up nominated for the main Edinburgh Comedy Award, Darren Harriott's TV includes, host of Live at the Apollo and Dog Ate My Homework, team captain on Guessable and series regular on Don't Hate the Playaz.
"Passionate, articulate, witty and bursting with streetwise confidence" - Evening Standard
