COMEDIAN Justin Moorhouse is set to perform his new show, Northern Joker, at The Venue in Uffculme.

These days Justin’s not certain about anything apart from his uncertainty – Brexit looms, it appears the Cold War is being re-booted and that’s before we begin to worry about what’s happening in the USA.

Closer to home he’s starting to feel redundant as a parent. One kid is leaving home, the dog is getting older and needs fewer walks, and the youngest kid hits 13 and cancels the family subscription to The Beano.

On top of this the golden age of the Northern straight white male comedian has gone the way of the dinosaurs. Can he adapt to survive? What next for this Northern Joker? What can he talk to his daughter about now she cares little for Dennis the Menace and the Bash St Kids?

Hang on. Perhaps nothing has changed that much. When he was 13, the Russians were scary, the White House was a madhouse and he’d never been to Europe anyhow.

Thinking back this is when his reading habits changed too, more Dark Knight than Desperate Dan, more Catwoman than Minnie the Minx.

Justin has appeared on television on Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, 8 out of 10 Cats and Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled. He is also a regular contributor to BBC’s The Premier League show.

On radio he has written and starred in two series of his own Radio 4 sitcom Everyone Quite Likes Justin and often appears on Radio 4’s The News Quiz. He is a regular on 5 Live’s Fighting Talk, and a frequent guest on Shaun Keaveny’s Breakfast Show and Radcliffe and Maconie in The Afternoon, both on 6 Music.

Justin Moorhouse is in Uffculme on Saturday, November 9, at 8pm. For tickets contact the box office on 01884 842912 or visit www.venueuffculme.com
