Geoff Norcott on Basic Blokes, Comedy & the New Tour
On this episode of The MarshyCast, I’m joined by comedian Geoff Norcott to talk about his latest stand-up tour Basic Bloke 2 – There’s No Bloke Without Fire.
We get into Geoff’s take on what it means to be a “blokey bloke” in modern Britain — from the mysteries of why men apparently own pyjamas, to whether dressing gowns serve any real purpose.
Geoff also explains why sometimes the simple things in life are enough: a random Bundesliga match on the TV, a packet of Twiglets, and a bit of peace and quiet.
Along the way we talk about the inspiration behind his latest show, how everyday observations become stand-up material, and what audiences can expect from the tour.
It’s a funny and honest conversation about comedy, everyday life and the strange habits we all recognise.
