Geoff Norcott has landed a Radio 4 show in which he plays "agony uncle" to disaffected people whose political opinions have made them unpopular with friends and family.

Recording on the 6th October in London, Never Kissed A Tory will see the right-wing comic and guest comedians discuss the problems of people who've crossed "tribal faultlines in the culture war", with the show expected to air in the next couple of months.

Issuing an appeal for contributors on his What Most People Think podcast, Norcott asked: "Have you ever been in trouble or fallen out with people professionally or personally because of political differences, or whether or not you're Team Meghan or Team Harry, Leave or Remainer, any of this kind of stuff? Has it affected your life?"

Potential examples he cited included "a Brexiteer at university and you got outed and had to pretend you'd changed your mind about Brexit". Or "maybe you're a bit of a Corbynista and were working at a hedge fund and found they were speaking about people like you derisively all the time. I do think this cuts both ways."

However, while Norcott has had no difficulty recruiting right-wing contributors thus far, he is struggling to attract those with left-wing views.

"Understandably, to a certain extent, people on the left are worried that it might cause them problems at work, which is both a problem but kind of underlines why we're making the show" he admitted.

"People don't want to sit in a room and tell us these stories, there's the pressure of performance and the pressure of potentially getting cancelled from your job as diversity and inclusion officer at Warwick University, for example. Other universities are also equally deluded."

And so he is appealing for anonymous submissions to whatmostpeoplethinkuk@gmail.com.

"Whether it's your loved ones, your family, has it destroyed pillow talk for you, has it enhanced it maybe? There's nothing like a grudge fuck ... The responses I've got have made me think more than ever that this is a really valid topic to be looking at and certainly the fact that people didn't feel comfortable speaking about it is proof of concept."

Never Kissed A Tory echoes a theme of Norcott's recent Radio 4 stand-up special, It's OK To Change Your Mind, which aired in April, exploring how firmly we hold onto our principles and convictions.

Writing in The Telegraph earlier this month, the Late Night Mash correspondent rejected the idea that his political views made him an on-set pariah.

"I'd love to tell you that among the cast I'm the odd one out on the Mash set, that I have a separate dressing room - that they eat their vegan wraps while I tuck into some veal. But the truth is we all get on. I find the idea of putting barriers up to people who don't think like you a bit intellectually embarrassing. "I won't be friends with a Leaver", "I've never kissed a Tory", that sort of thing.

"The inference is that the person who says it is an awesome person simply because of where they put a cross on their ballot paper once every five years. I'd argue being a good human being is a little more complicated than that - you're not the sum total of e-petitions or how many witty banners you've had appear on Newsnight."

Norcott published his first book, Where Did I Go Right? How The Left Lost Me in May, and is currently touring his I Blame The Parents show.
