Biography

Justin Worsham
He's a Good Husband!

Justin Worsham is a Good Husband! He has been described as, “the voice that lives in every man’s head,” and “The Nicest Jerk Around. His comedy attacks the lack of rational thought within the institution of marriage, and the insane behavior of snobs.

Justin grew up in Modesto, CA, which is also the birthplace of George Lucas. His parents divorced when he was 6 and his father met who would be his step-mom soon after. Up until this point, Justin was an only child. Now he had a new mom and a brother, and sister. His brother and sister were not as excited about the prospect of a little brother. His brother would read Martial Arts magazines and would practice his knowledge on his new little brother.
He knew he wanted to be a comedian when he was in 1st grade. He would watch Bill Cosby as Himself, and Robin Williams at the Met religiously. He would also steal his Dad’s copy of Eddie Murphy’s Comedian and listen to it in his closet. His love for comedy took a turn when his teacher asked him his class to draw a picture of what they wanted to be when they grew up. Justin drew a picture of a guy in front of a mic stand. This didn’t take to long which left Justin time to notice that his classmates were drawing firemen, doctors, and police officers. Embarrassed he quickly changed his picture into a scientist.

In High School he played football, played maybe 3 downs all year and decided to try something else. He chose Drama. He would star in every play for his junior and senior year and was also voted most talented his senior year.
He also met his wife his senior year. They moved in together 6 months after graduating and have been together ever since.

When he was 17, he was cast at a theme park in San Jose, CA, Paramount’s Great America. As a Ferengi, from Star Trek, he was their youngest performer. He was soon cast to host the park’s Nickelodeon show. In 1999 at the age of 18, and after only one year of workshops, he was asked to join the performance company of ComedySportz. He would continue to work for both ComedySportz and Great America for the next 7 yrs, performing and teaching workshops in improvisation and team building in the corporate arena. With ComedySportz he performed short form improvisation all over the country in places like, Austin, TX, Washington D.C., and Chicago.
He also began attending San Jose State University, where he studied Radio, Television, and Film. He was also a part of the Honors Humanities Program. At the Age of 21 he proposed to his wife at ComedySportz while playing an improv game similar to “Whose Line’s” props. They were married the same day the following year. A cashier at a grocery store once assumed that the reason his wife married Justin so young was because she was pregnant. She told the clerk that is was just because she likes him.

After a year and a half at SJSU he could no longer afford to stay in school and the Bay Area. He moved home to Modesto and continued to go to school to become an Elementary School teacher. He began to miss making people laugh and got an opportunity to come to Los Angeles and study with Second City. So he gave up the life that makes sense to pursue a career in comedy.

Today, Justin and his wife make their home in North Hollywood. They are expecting their first child on Aug 31st, 2008.
His first album Justin Worsham: I'm a Good Husband can be heard on National Lampoon Radio, and Sirius Satellite Radio. Also Justin has just taped a Showtime special called Comedy Slam with Russell Peters.

  Host Club: Improv - Dallas, TX
  Justin Worsham took the Addison Improv stage like he owned it, a comedy favorite with some of the best relationship humor we've heard in years. If you are not married, Justin is a gut busting educator. If you are married he's got a carnival mirror version for you. Warming up the crowd as a feature for Heath Hyche, it was clear that Justin Worsham is a headliner in his own right. The audiences love him. Just ask him how he sleeps at night. Justin is easily one of the funniest comedians to take the stage at the Improv. Hope to see him in Dallas again soon. " - Review by the Comedy Critic

  I’ve known of and worked with Justin on two offsite events for E. & J. Gallo, Annual Business Review 2004 and 2006 and have come to know Justin well as a professional.
  
  Justin was called upon at the last minute to facilitate, Master of Ceremonies, for a huge first time event for all hourly Gallo employees and managers (approx. 1,100 people). His humor, quick wit, and ability to “roll with the show” gave a big lift to the overall success for this event. Justin made the event a Gallo show and not his personal stage which was an underlying fear with many upper management folks going into his selection as MC. He handled himself professionally at all times and inserted humor when appropriate and became a big hit with all of upper management and Gallo family members.
  
  The Annual Business Review Committee and I consider Justin to be a huge asset to us in our attempts to enlighten and communicate our hourly folks and look forward to having his continued professional assistance as the need should arise. Justin is an innovative leader who has the organizational skills, orientation to detail, and humor that benefit all those who have dealings with him.
  
  I personally admire Justin’s dedication to his chosen work and I am proud to have been the one to promote Justin’s skills as an MC to E. & J. Gallo. He adjusted quickly to all last minute changes and overcame any and all obstacles with a very positive and always humorous outlook in every situation.
  
  Please feel free to call me should you wish to discuss this matter with me personally.

  We love Justin! Not only is he a cool guy, but He did way more than he
  needed to. The crowd was a mix of Moms and dads with kids to single
  soldiers from age 18 to 30. It was a great mix.
  
  He read the crowd well and incorporated pretty much all of my suggestions.
  He went with the flow and I think had a pretty good time with it.
  
  On my side this was a long ass event and Justin was a soldier helping keep
  the pace. Trooper! HOOAH!
  
  Mr. Joe Leavell was here as with the DA BOSS Rep and he will be talking with
  Eric from APCA about how much they liked him.
  
  I have E copies of all the stuff we did for the event. And I will send that
  on Wednesday. As for the 19th its on like donkey Kong! Just let me know if
  your coming as well so I can get a room for you and Dave.
  
  I look forward to having Justin out again and wish him and his wife many
  blessings on the arrival of there first born.
  
  Namaste,
