Geoff Norcott's Working Men's Club

Comedy of the Week | May 04 2026 | 00:28:16

This week, Geoff looks at the “angry middle-aged white men” that Gary Neville identified as the source of all division within the UK. Is that fair? If so, why are they angry? And could there be both a deeper reason for their anger and also a better outlet for it?As ever, these serious points are intercut with “manly hypotheticals”, the sort of question men ask each other to avoid talking about stuff that matters, like - if you’re drinking non-alcoholic beer, are you still obliged to buy a round?This is episode 2 of Series 2 of Geoff Norcott's Working Men's Club.
