SORRY to mention Christmas already, but Paul and Barry Chuckle have announced their 2010 winter tour, The Chuckle Brothers In The 12 Days Of Christmas.

The South Yorkshire double act will visit the Grand Opera House, York, for two performances of their new pantomime on December 3, when Santa Claus and Paul and Barry Elf will do battle to stop Jack Frost from ruining Christmas.

This Christmas comedy adventure by the BBC children’s entertainers is suitable for all the family “aged three to 103”.

Tickets for the 4.30pm and 7.15pm shows are newly on sale on 0844 847 2322 or online at grandoperahouseyork.org.uk

Tickets remain available too for Paul and Barry’s more immediate appearance in York, playing the Grand Opera House on Sunday afternoon in An Audience With The Chuckle Brothers. In this one-off special at 2pm, the toothsome twosome will show film clips, perform favourite routines and recall memorable incidents from their long career. Questions from the audience will be encouraged too.
