"Quirky and imaginative stories...A brilliant entertainer" The Stage
"Easily my favourite comedian" Jimmy Carr
"Like Peter Kay physically and vocally, and not unlike Alan Bennett linguistically...capable of ranting ecstatically with one of the most enthusiastically expressive faces on the fringe...Justin Moorhouse is simultaneously down to earth and out of this world."
4 ****List
"A natural comedian, blessed with the warm engaging personality that makes even the most extreme profanity seem mildly polite...A gentle comedic tour de force which nearly brought a tear to a critical glass eye...a brutal humour that teeters just on the right side of bitter...excruciatingly funny."
4 **** Herald
"Good, honest, down-to-earth, funny situational comedy...If you have had about all you can take of experimental theatre and want a guaranteed hour of laughs, go see this show."

“Moorhouse charms the pants off the crowd” Sunday Times Critical List
"Funnier than a monkey on a bike - and that’s funny!"
Dave Spikey
"Hilarious"
Manchester Evening News
One of the brightest stars working on the British comedy circuit, Manchester based Justin Moorhouse is a talented stand-up comedian, writer and actor - not to mention an award-winning radio presenter and a household name in his native North West.
Early in his career, his exuberant, larger than life personality and cheeky northern charm quickly allowed him to build a reputation on the live comedy circuit. He was named the ‘City Life Comedian of the Year’ in 2000 and was second placed in the ‘BBC New Talent Awards’ the following year. He was soon supporting stand-up luminaries Jimmy Carr, Peter Kay, Dave Spikey, John Thomson and Johnny Vegas on tour before going on to play to sell out audiences across the North West with his own solo shows.
Justin’s debut solo show ‘Local Knowledge - The Smallest Tour in the World’ toured the North West in 2004 earning him a nomination for ’Best Comedy Performance’ at the prestigious Manchester Evening News Theatre Awards alongside the likes of Bill Bailey and Ross Noble. He took to the road again in 2006 with sell-out performances of his second show ‘The Difficult Second Tour’. 2007 saw him making his hotly anticipated debut at the Edinburgh festival with his third solo show ‘Who’s The Daddy?’. With a run of sell-out shows and a clutch of 4 star reviews under his belt, Justin is now touring the show throughout the UK
"Exudes a likeable energy that could raise the dead...his is the sort of personality which you instinctively trust to make you laugh - and he doesn’t disappoint...impressive indeed."
