Chuckles to land at Palace

Paul and Barry’s latest adventure begins when they visit a toy shop to buy some water pistols but whilst trying them out they see a toy space ship which they get in to.

“Don’t touch anything,” the shop keeper shouts. “Especially that big red button!”

But being the Chuckle Brothers, they can’t resist and press the button: all sorts of noises go off.

“Oh dear,” they cry, as they magically and accidentally launch into space, taking the audience on a 2014 Space Oddity, a trip that guarantees fun for all the family.

Paul and Barry Elliott are the real life brothers better known to millions of fans as The Chuckle Brothers.

They have worked in almost every area of entertainment and their unique style and family humour is synonymous with the stage and television appearances that still take up most of their time.

In particular they are known for their long-running television show Chucklevision and their annual panto appearances.

In this show they star alongside their two other brothers, Brian and Jimmy, magician Sapphire and ex-Olympic gymnast Richard Morgan in a two-hour slapstick spectacular.

It took the pair just two hours to write the first draft of the script for their annual tour, and they continually come up with new gags.

Said Barry: “We can promise a lot of laughs, slapstick, audience participation and of course our catchphrases will crop up.

“We kind of hope for mistakes really as they’re like the Chucklevision out-takes - the best parts! We often come up with ideas as we go along.”

The Chuckle Brothers: A 2014 Space Oddity lands at Mansfield Palace Theatre on Sunday 18th May at 2pm.
