S2 E4: 'Er Indoors

Geoff examines modern masculinity, with the help of his audience in Leeds. This week he asks, why aren鈥檛 men honest about their partner鈥檚 faults?

Geoff Norcott examines modern masculinity in this second series of his stand-up show, by creating the safe space of a working men鈥檚 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 men in a romantic relationship with women - and why they aren鈥檛 honest about their partner鈥檚 faults. Is there a social taboo around men admitting to problems in their relationships, or are women just better than men so there鈥檚 less to complain about?

As ever, these serious points are intercut with 鈥渕anly hypotheticals鈥, the sort of questions men ask each other to avoid talking about stuff that matters, like - would you rather duel Jacob Rees-Mogg with a sword or a pistol?
