What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott

EP 188 - DARREN MCGARVEY

First up we have a quick catch up about the week gone and little Rishi's big deal. 
 Then I speak to Scottish rapper, activist and writer Darren McGarvey. Darren comes at things from a very different angle to me on a political level, but communicates with such clarity I defy anyone not to take away something from this. 
 His analogy about the SNP using nationalism like a 'performance enhancing drug' is the best i've heard.

In an overwhelmingly Lefty comedic landscape, right-leaning stand-up Geoff Norcott is a rare beast. In WMPT he gets to the heart of what ordinary people think about social and political issues. Whatever the contentious subject – he’ll be honest and blunt, but without being a dick. Mostly. Guests come from across the social and political divide, including, Romesh Ranganathan, Jonathan Pie, Katherine Ryan, Andrew Doyle, David Baddiel, Konstantin Kisin, Owen Jones and many more. Geoff has appeared on Live at the Apollo, Backstage with Katherine Ryan, Would I lie to You? Have I Got News For You? The Last Leg, Mash Report, Question Time, Mock the Week and pops up frequently on UK political debate programmes. Geoff's book 'Where Did I Go Right?' came out in 2021 and top the political comedy best-seller list on multiple occasions. Geoff also won an operational medal for his five tours performing to British troops in Afghanistan. "One of our most refreshingly funny comedians of any stripe." - Sunday Times "A Right laugh." - The Guardian*
