Geoff
Norcott "This
guy is going to be big" The Stage
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, sports expert Geoff can be seen nightly on Nuts TV presenting ‘Shed Sports’. Geoff has also appeared on BBC 1, BBC 2, ITV, FIVE & SKY. In 2007 he appeared in ‘Spoof’ – a new impressions show for teenagers on BBC 1. The show saw Geoff impersonating a diverse range of celebrities from Tim Westwood to Martin Fowler.
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.
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
