A seat at the Theatre Royal has been dedicated to the Chuckle Brothers to commemorate 50 years of pantomime performances.
The Chuckle Brothers were awarded with the plaque following the six week run of Jack and the Beanstalk, their 50th year.
The duo will be alongside previous pantomime legends Christopher Biggins, David Hasselhoff and Su Pollard.
Paul Elliott, one half of the famous brothers, said: “It’s a complete honour to have been here this year.
“Being our 50th to have such a fantastic cast, all the way up from the little ones to the oldest one, the dancers, and everyone backstage and front of house, it’s such a fabulous crowd of people to have on our 50th; thank you very much.”
Director of sales and marketing at the Theatre Royal Jonathan Saville said that ‘business has been amazing’ with the Chuckle Brothers performing at the theatre.
He said: “Paul and Barry are iconic figures in children’s entertainment and many people have grown up watching The Chuckle Brothers on television.
“The show has been critically acclaimed and social media has been buzzing with tweets and selfies.
“That is down to the hard work and amazing performances that Paul, Barry and the rest of the cast have undertaken and so our seat dedication this year is extra special.”
