    Justin Moorhouse on Comedy as a Business, ADHD, Phoenix Nights & Building an Audience Today - Ep 100

    Comedian Justin Moorhouse on Comedy as a Business, ADHD, Phoenix Nights & Building an Audience TodayIn this podcast episode, the host interviews comedian Justin Moorhouse (known for Phoenix Nights/“Young Kenny”) about comedy as a business and how it has changed. Justin outlines his current work mix-tour shows, clubs, podcasts, brand work, voiceovers, and corporate hosting. He discusses imposter syndrome, a mental-health wobble during the pandemic, his later-life ADHD diagnosis, and how it reframed his past: a bright childhood, leaving school at 16 with no qualifications, and cycling through 38 jobs before starting stand-up in 1999. He recalls early breaks including Peter Kay casting him and winning the City Life Comedian of the Year, leading to Comedy Store representation. He compares UK/US comedy paths, explains today’s social-media-driven industry, and shares plans to film better clips, write a new show, and develop a sitcom while focusing on wellbeing routines.Find out where Justin is performing next at: https://www.justinmoorhouse.com/Timestamps:00:00 Podcast Welcome Guest Intro01:31 Comedy As A Business01:56 Income Streams Explained04:08 Imposter Syndrome ADHD07:44 Childhood School Struggles11:54 Finding Standup Comedy13:55 First Gigs Nerves15:43 Big Break Phoenix Nights20:17 Hard Work Career Momentum23:07 Looking For Eric Experience24:26 Ken Loach Filmmaking Style29:45 Phoenix Nights Legacy30:42 Face Paint Stories32:40 Viral Fame Versus Craft33:23 Crowd Work Debate34:07 UK Fringe Versus US Road35:55 Warm Crowd Work Magic37:23 Filming Clips Strategy40:00 Cracking Social Algorithms41:47 Followers Drive Bookings44:49 Authenticity And Audience45:27 Suburban Ticket Insights47:29 Next Career Goals49:34 Why Not Film This Show50:47 Peak Highs And Lows53:27 Stage Skills For Business56:35 You Have To Do Comedy58:11 Running Comedy Like Business01:00:20 ADHD Habits And Systems01:00:51 Bullet Journal Wins01:02:56 Fitness Routine Reset01:06:22 Future Tours And Projects01:07:50 Comedy Heroes Then Now01:10:26 Final Thanks And Wrap🎙️ Subscribe so you never miss an episode👍 Like the video if you enjoyed it💬 Drop your thoughts in the comments belowThe Episode was recorded by Recognise Media: https://recognisemedia.com/⁠ for ⁠Manchester SEO⁠The episode was sponsored by: Brownies were Supplied by Bele Brownies: https://www.belebrownies.com/ ⁠⁠⁠
