Justin Moorhouse is a middle-aged Northern comic who has graced the comedy circuit for probably more years than he’d like to be reminded of, but although his age is now matching his waistline he says, his comedy ability is not diminishing in anyway.

Dressed in a tank top in the sauna like room basically to tell one of his tales, Moorhouse talks about his hip replacement, about midlife crisis highlighting the differences between men and women, his mates, some of whom he doesn’t like, one of their skiing holiday, lycra clad male cyclers, his admiration for the NHS, stopping smoking and drinking and the problems in going back to work too soon after his hip replacement.

Moorhouse is a larger than life character who tells loads of jokes, and funny stories and does it oh so well. Don’t go looking for a deep meaningful show here, just go and enjoy a genuinely funny guy doing what he does best and that is making people laugh their socks off.
