[edit] Career
Comedian, impressionist, writer & actor Geoff Norcott has made a real impact on the UK comedy scene since he first took to the stage in 2001. His abundance of energy combined with a storming mix of impressions, observations, satire and rap, has made him a hugely popular act and compere on both the national & international circuit. A passionate sports and music fan, Geoff remains the only stand up in the country to give cricket a rock ‘n’ roll spin.
On television you can see Geoff every week night on Nuts TV presenting ‘WKD Shed Sports’, a show following from 'Shed Sports 1' which Geoff presented in 2007 with ‘Comedy Dave’ from BBC Radio 1. Geoff has also appeared on BBC 1, BBC 2, ITV, FIVE & SKY. At the beginning of 2007 he appeared in ‘Spoof’ – a new impressionist show for teenagers on BBC 1. The show saw Geoff impersonating a diverse range of celebrities including Tim Westwood.
A former English Literature teacher, Geoff is also a gifted writer and is currently developing ideas for radio and television. He has written for MTV and ‘Parson and Naylor’s Big Pullout Section’ on BBC Radio 2. He is also a commissioned writer for Nuts TV and was involved developing the football documentary 'Football Hurts'.
In 2006 Geoff took his first solo ‘Professional Teenager’ up to the Edinburgh Fringe.
" Norcott is an outstanding act who delivers an eclectic mix of smut, impressions and politics all delivered with a confident smile and boundless energy that keeps you on your toes. All wrapped up with faultless delivery, affability and a t-shirt two sizes too small. Who could ask for anything more? " Funny.co.uk
