Geoff Norcott has come to prominence in recent years as one of a small band of Tory-voting stand-ups. But even Norcott is having his doubts these days. On stage last night at the Leicester Square Theatre he said that when he currently reflects on the Conservative government he says of them: “Are you OK?”
Norcott is very funny on the current political landscape although, frankly, satirising Westminster in 2023 does make shooting fish in a barrel feel like a fiendish challenge. And despite his disillusionment he does not seem to have entirely defected. He describes Keir Starmer as the kind of man who goes on stag weekends to Amsterdam and spends his time visiting museums.
