Ellon RF Praise Comedian Geoff Norcott

Thursday, September 8th, 2011 by andy

Geoff Norcott notched up another excellent corporate event at the weekend hosting a fundraising auction at Ellon Rugby Club. Performing a set and whipping the audience into a bidding frenzy was just what the client desired and Comic Voice Management comedian Geoff Norcott delivered ten-fold.

“Geoff Norcott was excellent, very funny and great entertainment. With a mixed audience he was able to encapsulate the mood and showed a good understanding of people and their obvious personality traits. The fundraising auction was a big success due to Geoff’s drive and enthusiasm to encourage the audience to part with their much earned funds. Would we have him again most definitely.” Ellon RFU

Geoff Norcott is Good in a Crisis Snipe London Review

Monday, August 15th, 2011 by andy

‘A thing of great beauty’ Snipe London

Geoff Norcott seems very keen to warn you that his show might not be much good yet, which is a charitable thing to do when nobody’s sitting more than ten metres from the exit. He needn’t have bothered; this mini-run of what will hopefully become Norcott’s 2012 Edinburgh show is a thing of great beauty, barely giving the audience time to breathe between laughs whilst tackling some unexpectedly sombre subject matter.

The theme underpinning Geoff Norcott is Good in a Crisis is the recent death of Norcott’s mother – certainly not an obvious subject for comedy, but one which works surprisingly well in his deft hands. Mixing a certain amount of unashamed homage with anecdotal stories of his journey through bereavement and grief, Norcott does a fine job of involving the audience irrespective of whether they can empathise with his situation, whilst avoiding killing the atmosphere with morbidity. Combining his fine set-pieces with unusually confident audience interaction (it’s easy to tell he’s dealt with harder crowds than Camden can provide; Norcott’s a regular entertainer of HM Forces overseas), this is a well-crafted show with as much heart as it has humour.

Geoff Norcott is Good in a Crisis – Show Review

Geoff Norcott is Good in a Crisis – Etcetera Theatre Show Review

http://onthefringepaper.co.uk/?p=953

Written by Diane O’Connor by On The Fringe. Date: 07.08.11

‘memorable anecdotes and laughs a plenty’ On the Fringe

“With successful credits in TV, radio and beyond the well acclaimed Norcott delivers a unique perspective on death and life in general in his Edinburgh 2012 show in progress.  Including witty accounts of his personal crises while dealing with everyday life especially that relating to the death of his mother. This is a personable but relatable set, from comedy on the front line in Afghanistan, the adventures of Lilly the Cockapoo, a night in A and E to the simple anxiety of the guest bed, there is a crisis in here for everyone.

The occasional yet quirky use of music works well to bring us into Norcott’s state of mind while his flawless intuition of the audience’s humour creates a special atmosphere. Enhanced with significant tales; an unexpected medical problem, finding therapy, practical stages of grievance and been an adult, the material makes connections which brings a certain vulnerability to the audience.

This show demonstrates the healing power of comedy and the potential of the comedic function in ploughing through hard times. The only down fall was Norcott warning us of his previous shortcomings before the first laugh, giving the audience no benefit other than wondering are they in safe hands, luckily this is salvaged by Norcott’s nailing his set.

Although it lacks flow at points which could be attributed to it been a show in progress,  the laughs just kept on coming and his connection with the audience keeps the focus throughout safe in the knowledge there are memorable anecdotes and laughs a plenty. With increasingly successful career on stage, T.V, radio and beyond, it is easy to see why Geoff Norcott is good in a crisis.”
