Career
Moorhouse was a salesman for many years before contacting a comedy club, the Frog and Bucket in Oldham Street, Manchester and performing a stand up comedy routine, aged 29. In 2002, he competed in a local comedy competition held at the Southern pub in Chorlton, winning the final held at the Comedy Store Manchester. Soon afterwards, he performed in a comedy tour, before getting the role of Young Kenny in Phoenix Nights. Although Young Kenny is a Manchester City supporter, Moorhouse himself supports their rivals, Manchester United.
Moorhouse appeared in the film Looking for Eric as "Spleen".
From 7 December 2010 to 22 January 2011, he starred in Harold Brighouse's play Zack at the Royal Exchange, Manchester. From August 2014 to September 2014, Moorhouse played Dean Upton in Coronation Street.[1]
In 2014, Moorhouse became the voice of Vimto's Vimtoad.

He has written and appeared in his own BBC Radio 4 sitcom Everyone Quite Likes Justin.[3] Elisabeth Mahoney, reviewing the comedy in The Guardian, said of the pilot episode "There's a satisfyingly high gag hit-rate for this new comedy about a radio presenter".[4]
He is also a semi-regular guest on 7 Day Sunday and Fighting Talk, both broadcast on 5 Live. He also occasionally presents shows on BBC Radio Manchester, and is now an occasional 'friend' on Colin Murray and Friends, which is aired from 10am to 1pm, on weekdays on talkSPORT.
