Geoff Norcott: Basic Bloke 2 – There's No Bloke Without Fire
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
Fun in Wolverhampton tonight ! Geoff was on form tonight, looking forward to the tour !
Geoff was as good as you'd expect, despite this being (allegedly😁) a work in progress for the next tour. He tried out a lot of new material and almost everything had everyone laughing, and the few that didn't, still had over half laughing along. This is the third time we've seen him since 2019 and will definitely book to see him again. Everything is well constructed and thought out, and he clearly adjusts to what's going on in the UK and the World, so is relevant and up to date. He even made time after the show to sign /sell merchandise and chat to the audience... Excellent night out and fab value too
The Quay is a lovely little venue (holds approx 150) so very intimate for Geoff Norcott! Seats were comfy, bar prices were very reasonable and view of the stage was perfect. I'd definitely come to a show here again.....especially if it was Geoff, he's hilarious!!
Such great fun, such an entertaining night with a very clever comedian. Even though it was a WIP, it felt like a really good set and so topical.
