Basic Bloke 2 – There’s No Bloke Without Fire is the latest tour from comedian, author, podcaster and radio host Geoff Norcott and Geoff’s first under a Labour government, so he’s got plenty to get off his chest!

Not least because there’s nothing quite so British as being promised a brave new dawn then realising it’s as crap as the last one.
Culturally, Geoff is conscious that – as the global headwinds shift right – he might end up at odds with people who used to be on ‘his side’. He’s dismayed to find that some of the cultural right weren’t really against censorship and cancellation, they just wanted to be the ones doing it.
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’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.
