Well just got back from Bristol and........wow. Just wow. I can't put into words just how amazing the show was. I won't tell the plot as it will spoil it for those of you who haven't seen it yet even though I'm practically bursting to let it all out lol. What I'll say about the show is that it was overall amazing, and there was a fair share of new mistakes and characters and jokes and costumes and gags and songs. To name one song which I can't get out of my head, it was Barry singing "Two Little Boys" by Rolf Harris with a Safire puppet who was called Tiny Tim, and a song which involved getting a few members of the audience up on stage for a bit of participation lol, and also before we went into the auditorium I went to grab a souvenir and I recognized Nick Elliott (Paul's son) straight away and I held out my hand and he shook it and when Mum asked who he was I told her. Also at the end of the show Paul told us all that Richard Morgan had just become the father of a new baby!! Then after the show they were signing things so we went into a side room where they were signing at a table as it was bad weather outside, we only had to wait about 20 minutes for them to come, we were near-ish the front of it so I saw them coming from behind me, as soon as I did so I started hugging and kissing Barry on the cheek as usual, and the same went with Paul of course lol, and he called me "lovely" as I did so. When I eventually went to get my souvenirs signed I stroked Paul on top of and on the back of his head first, and managed to touch the tip of his moustache lol, and he laughed and said "here she is!" and then I put both my arms round him whilst having a snap done with him, then we went on to see Barry who was just sitting next to him lol, I had both my arms round him for the snap with him as well, I kissed him on the cheek again after it was taken, then as we started heading out of the theatre together Barry said to us "King's Lynn next?" and he also said "have a merry christmas" and Mum wished him one back which was good, so I can't wait for King's Lynn now after the chuckletastic time we've had Here are the pictures:

Thanks for the kind words tometoyou92, the show was definitely best I have seen yet. I still can't choose between this and 2007 Aladdin though lol Safire's magic and puppetry is some of the best I have seen yet as well, I hope they make a DVD of this show

Great review and lovely photos, Charlotte. Glad to hear you had such a good time and also got to meet the Chucks again. It's got me all the more excited for seeing the show in a couple of weeks!

Glad you're going to see it Chris, and thanks for the kind words I know you'll adore it I got a few photos of the theatre as well Also I don't want to spoil it but I think it was pretty surprising to see the Chucklettes there. Not all of them were there from 2007 Aladdin though. They were just dancers and carol singers this time. There was a boy there too, his name is Mitchell Haze, and he turned out to be Paul and Barry's great nephew I was wondering where Charlotte Sullivan was as well because she normally worked with Richard Morgan. Mum suggested maybe she was the one having that baby because of that reason as Paul announced that Mr Morgan had become a dad at the end of the show. Everyone cheered when he said that Shame you didn't get to see it chucklesarecool, for those of you here who aren't getting to see the show at all, then I tell you now you should have been there. Some scenes were carried over from tours and pantos. Jimmy is the best out of him and Brian in this show

I was aware Stuart and Jayne are married/partners, but I didn't think Richard and Ms. Sullivan were. You could be onto something there, though.
Can you tell us which parts Jimmy and Brian play in the show? I know we speculated a while back that they might be the Ghosts.

Went to Birmingham last night and I must say... it was one of the BEST CHUCKLE SHOWS EVER!! Fantastic!! Very Christmassy and alot like a panto (when I was about to get sick of A Christmas Carol with Tommy Steele in Scrooge, the new Jim Carrey movie and the birmingham Rep's production!!)!Brilliant a big well done to every one!! But just reading Charlotte's review from Bristol, Paul also said last night that half way through the 2nd half they got a phone call saying Richard was the farther of a new baby!? Don't know why they said it again, but still a great show!! just a shame they didnt do signings after the show Also just sent a message to the "Contact Us" part on the new website praising it and also alsking about A Christmas Chuckle DVD and where it will be filmed and when it will be released (also asked Safire on Youtube less than a week ago but no reply ). I tell you guys as soon as I get a reply.
