Everyone Quite Likes Justin starred Justin Moorhouse as Justin, a DJ still living in his ex-father-in-law's spare room 18 months after he said it would only be for a couple of nights. Justin walks around with no pants on, likes pizza and is given to sardonic Northern reflection. In comparison to Angelos Epithemiou he is, however, Plato.

Justin looks to a better life

A chat with Looking For Eric star Justin Moorhouse...

Tommy Holgate, The Sun, 29th July 2010

If you prefer your comedy straight up this week's Just a Minute sees panellists Tony Hawks, Josie Lawrence, Justin Moorhouse and Dave Gorman at Derby University this week, talking about mature students, Derby, paying off student loans and Zanzibar (which happens to be the name of the student bar in Derby). The players' verbal dexterity is amusing, but it's their petty squabbling and Nicholas Parsons's exasperation that provide the belly laughs. And if this show doesn't snap you out of the January blues, there's probably no helping you until spring arrives.

Larking with Eric

A look at the impact the Ken Loach film Looking for Eric is set to have on Mancunian comedians Justin Moorhouse and Smug Roberts.

Si Hawkins, British Comedy Guide, 7th June 2009

It was a great show with laughs all the way through. The high point of show comes when he Moorhouse recounts the tale when he and his son (Justin Junior) go on holiday to Paris while Junior's mother and grandmother are going to Florida. A bizarre story, involving waving at all passing aircraft and a dangerous walk up the Eiffel Tower lead to a wonderfully moving and funny conclusion. This programme seems to have the legs in order to become a full series and I for one hope it does get it.
