Geoff Norcott: Basic Bloke 2 - There’s No Bloke Without Fire

Live Nation in association with Sophie Chapman Talent presents: 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 Age 16+

The Anglia Comedy Allstars - April 2026

Strictly over 18s only. Please note that the line-up may be subject to change without notice. The Anglia Comedy Allstars return to The Old Savoy – Home of The Deco Theatre in April 2026, with an amazing line-up featuring the hilarious Milton Jones, Rory Bremner, Fatiha El-Ghorri & Darren Harriott! Milton Jones: Him with the shirts from Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo and Radio 4. Milton reveals the truth about being an international spy, before being given a disappointing new identity which forced him to appear on Mock the Week & Live at the Apollo. Just gloriously daft nonsense or is there a deeper meaning? Every man has his price. Sainsburys, where good food costs less. “No-one can touch Jones when he hits his stride” – The Guardian ————- Rory Bremner is widely regarded as Britain’s top satirical impressionist. As a mimic, he’s provided definitive impersonations of PMs and Presidents from Major to Mandela, Blair to Brown, Clinton to Cameron and Bush to Trump. As himself, he’s been presenter, writer, quiz-show host, actor, translator and even (briefly) ballroom dancer (Strictly). ———— Underneath Taskmaster star Fatiha El-Ghorri’s colourful hijab is a mind full of cutting observations and engaging witticisms on the life and times of a British Muslim woman.
