Daily: Crossing swords with GEOFF NORCOTT, conservative comedian

<p>Never let it be said we don’t mix it up…&nbsp;We lure <strong>Geoff Norcott</strong>, famously the only* right of centre comedian out there, into The Bunker and attempt a civilised conversation. How does a working class son of a trade unionist end up on the political right? Why does right wing comedy reiterate the same tired punchlines about “wokeness”? And how does he think Brexit – which he voted for – is going?&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><p>* Not really, but listen and find out.&nbsp;</p><p><br></p><ul><li><em>“I’m not the ONLY right-wing comedian…&nbsp;but when we have the Christmas party, we don’t have to hire a big room.”</em></li><li><em>“The idea of a room full of people agreeing with each other doesn’t appeal to me, whoever they are.”&nbsp;</em></li><li><em>“Every wing of politics has trashed their own brand.”</em></li><li><em>“Stewart Lee always makes me laugh even though I’m the person he’d probably hate the most.”</em></li><li><em>“As a straight, white, middle-aged man, yeah I’ve taken advantage of BBC diversity quotas.”</em></li><li><em>“I’m not anti-woke. I’m anti- bad ideas.”&nbsp;</em></li><li><em>“I voted for a Deal and if there isn’t one, I’ll be angry.”&nbsp;</em></li></ul><p><br></p><p><em>Presented and produced by Andrew Harrison.
