 🔥 Geoff Norcott on Comedy, Brexit, the BBC, Men’s Issues & Why Comedy Lost Its Balls 🔥 In this explosive episode of Heretics, I’m joined by comedian, writer and broadcaster Geoff Norcott — often described as the only conservative comedian allowed on the BBC — for a brutally honest conversation about comedy, politics, culture wars and free speech.

We talk about Brexit, cancel culture, topical comedy, Mock the Week, The Mash Report, and what really happens behind the scenes at the BBC. We also dive deep into: - Why 98% of comedians lean left - How Brexit changed everything in British comedy - Self-censorship, fear, and why comics stopped taking risks - The Ava Santina / Politics Live moment and the fallout - Men’s mental health, male identity, and whether we need a Minister for Men - Why discussions about men get derailed — and who benefits - Class, working-class voices, and BBC “diversity” panels - Why comedy works best when left and right actually clash - Why podcasts replaced TV as the home of honest comedy - Whether comedy has finally got its balls back Geoff also reflects on Laurence Fox, GB News, cancel culture on the right and left, and why ideological purity is killing real conversation. This is a rare, long-form discussion that doesn’t shout slogans — it actually thinks.
