Harry Stachini used to teach kids. Naughty kids. As in really, really naughty kids and, if you can make a success of that then how difficult is a career as a stand up comedian? This natural comic, still of comparatively few summers, allows his natural warmth to carry hilarious tales and intricately spun stories with a skill usually only present in much more experienced comics.

Justin Moorhouse won’t need any introduction to Lymm’s comedy fans. Whether you’ve seen him on tour, at The Comedy Store, on QI, Coronation Street, Celebrity Mastermind, Live At The Apollo, Dave’s One Night Stand or even Phoenix Nights (ask your mum!), you’ll know why he is constantly in demand as one of the UK’s funniest performers. Peerless performance skills backed by an arsenal of carefully crafted routines and tightly written gags make Justin a surefire success in front of any audience as thousands of fans will gladly testify.


“If good old-fashioned joke-telling is your thing, then Justin Moorhouse is your man” Fest
