BESTIVAL DECLARE TODAY CHUCKLE BROTHERS’ DAY

In celebration of The Chuckle Brothers’ much-anticipated appearances this year, at not only Bestival but also Camp Bestival and Common People, organisers have declared today (Thursday 5^th May) Chuckle Brothers’ Day.

The Chuckle Brothers are one of the country’s best loved double acts, a premier slapstick team that kept generations of kids entertained with perfectly timed pratfalls in 22 series of their acclaimed ChuckleVision television show. Launching the catchphrases “to me, to you” and “oh dear, oh dear” into common parlance, their influence on youth culture shouldn’t be underestimated.

“I’m not sure if there’s an emoji for ‘wetting yourself laughing’ yet but we need one for the Chuckle Brothers. I booked them as a bit of a laugh last year but they drew one of the biggest crowds of the weekend and had to do about 1000 selfies afterwards for some rabid fans. I’m still not sure I understand it all but i do love ‘em, and had to get them for all of our shows this year!”

Paul Chuckle says:

“Thanks for this great tribute but I have to say our time at Bestival last September was one of the best days we’ve ever had. We’ve done and appeared in many things including the Children’s Royal Variety show, but can honestly say this matched anything. The day was amazing and we can’t wait to do it all again this year. Great crowd, great guys to work with all round, and memories that will last for ever. See you all soon.
“PS. Can’t wait”.

As well as getting in on the current grime revival right from the word go with ‘To Me, To You (Bruv)’ their collaboration with Tinchy Stryder, last year also saw the pair make their festival debut at Bestival in front of 14,000 people. What can only be described as unbridled joy filled the Big Top at Downend and a huge outpouring of emotion from the capacity crowd turned their 15-minute slot into one of the highlights of any Bestival. Ever.
