S2 E3: Baby Daddy

Geoff examines modern masculinity, with the help of his audience in Newcastle. This week he asks, what does it mean to be a β€œgood dad” to a baby?

Geoff Norcott examines modern masculinity in this second series of his stand-up show, by creating the safe space of a working men’s club so he can speak freely about the problems men are facing and how we might go about fixing them in a way that benefits everyone.

This week, Geoff looks at the early years of fatherhood – before you can kick a ball around with them, or give them inspiring words of wisdom as a stirring score plays behind you. What does it mean to be a β€œgood dad” to a baby? As ever, these serious points are intercut with β€œmanly hypotheticals”, the sort of question men ask each other to avoid talking about stuff that matters, like: who would win in a fight between Ben Shephard and Dermot O’Leary?
