And he’s bound to have his audience in stitches when he takes to the stage at The Stand, Glasgow, on Saturday, March 16.

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?

Justin has performed around the world and his TV and film credits include tiger-faced Young Kenny In Phoenix Nights, Ken Loach’s Looking for Eric, Live At The Apollo, Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, 8 out of 10 Cats and Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled.
