A Very Taxing Week - Feat. Dominic Frisby

A Very Taxing Week - Feat. Dominic Frisby

Author: Geoff Norcott November 24, 2025 Duration: 41:51
In the week of the budget there was no better guest than comedian and financial oracle Dominic Frisby. We make predictions, but also consider bizarre forfeits for leaking to the press. With a deal in Ukraine looming, we apply our limited knowledge to developments and wonder why Trump gets golf clubs out of these deals while our guy only gets free glasses. In the Patron only section it's more DEATH STORIES as we trade mortifying failures on stage. CATCH ME ON MY TOUR ‘Basic Bloke 2: There’s No Bloke Without Fire’.

Geoff Norcott operates in a comedy world that often leans one way, but he brings a different, grounded perspective to the table. His What Most People Think with Geoff Norcott podcast is built on the idea that ordinary people have nuanced views on the social and political issues dominating the headlines. Each episode digs into those contentious topics with a blend of honesty and blunt humour, aiming for insight without unnecessary vitriol. You'll hear Geoff's own take, shaped by his experience as a right-leaning stand-up in a predominantly left-field industry, but the conversations truly come alive with guests from across the entire social and political spectrum. Regular contributors like Romesh Ranganathan, Katherine Ryan, Jonathan Pie, Andrew Doyle, and David Baddiel ensure no single viewpoint dominates the chat. The result is a surprisingly balanced and consistently funny exploration of what people really believe, away from the echo chambers. Tuning into this podcast means getting a candid, comedic audit of modern Britain, where disagreement is allowed and laughter is the constant.

BREAKING NEWS #35 - No Bounce In Spring Statement [not-audio_url] [/not-audio_url]

Duration: 32:30
