November's headline comedian is Justin Moorhouse.

"About me? I won Celebrity Mastermind on the 30th December 2011 on BBC1 – my chosen subject was Les Dawson. I’m a vegetarian, dog owner, father of two and I like Batman quite a bit. I’m a comedian, actor, writer and radio presenter. I’m not very good at juggling or triple jump.

I’ve done a couple of pantomimes and more theatrically I’ve done two very lovely plays at the Royal Exchange in Manchester. I write and appear in the Radio 4 sitcom called Everyone Quite Likes Justin – it’s often repeated on Radio 4 Extra I’ll be popping up here and there doing gigs all over the place. I’m on tour and all the dates are on my website. I’m very good at hosting corporate events and doing after-dinner stuff. You can ask my agent for nice letters people have written about me (I’ve got my own black suit and everything).

I delivered a car to Sally once on Coronation Street. I was Doug, she told me to do one. I did one. Then I went back to Weatherfield for 3 episodes as Dean Upton the landlord of The Flying Horse in Summer 2014 – a role I still play (completely off-screen)."
