You might remember the Chuckle Brothers. They were kids TV favourites for their somewhat repetitive, but none the less light-hearted comedy performances. The long-running “Chuckle Vision” will be imprinted on the brains of many parents who will never forget the “to me” “to you”, back and forth routine that child audiences across the country would try to imitate. Barry and Paul use their slap-stick comedy and visual gags to appeal to younger audiences, or even the young at heart. Whilst situation-comedy lovers may criticise The Brothers for their simplification of comedic strategy, it can’t be denied that their performances are loved by many. The Chuckle Brothers celebrated the 21st anniversary of “Chuckle Vision” by launching the country-wide tour- “An Audience with the Chuckle Brothers.” This ran from January 2010 until May 2010.
Perhaps you didn’t get a chance to catch Paul and Barry live and feel like reminiscing about the days when seeing someone fall over or end up with a cream-pie in their face, was enough to make you laugh. This is a great opportunity for a family night of fun; you can show your kids what you grew up with whilst introducing them to a comedy duo they’re sure to love. The Chuckle Brothers are set to return to Manchester to perform in “Return of the Pirates of the River Rother 2.” The performance will take place at the Manchester Opera House on Sunday 27th May 2012. An event you won’t want to miss!
Once you’ve taken the whole family to see the show, why not rest those weary heads on a fluffy pillow in one of our fabulously furnished Manchester holiday apartments? We have many Manchester serviced apartments that will suit your family’s needs. You can find what options are available to you by calling our reservations team on 0844 335 8866 or sending us your enquiry through the website.

Simon Amstell’s quick-witted and articulate comedic presence has tickled the British funny bone for years. He never fails to put a sarcastic twist on any situation he is presented with. Many will remember Amstell’s first TV appearance as Popworld co-presenter. His partnership with Miquita Oliver worked well and showed Amstell’s ability to make an audience laugh with his surreal and ironic style of comedy. Simon was the host of music-funny show “Never Mind the Buzzcocks.” His joke-battles with team leader Noel Fielding demonstrated Amstell’s passion for comedy and have firmly put him on the map as a favourite for British comedy fans. Turning his hand to acting, he starred in the independent film Black Pond. Amstell also starred in and co-wrote Grandma’s House, a BBC 2 drama which is set to release a second series later this year.
With this back catalogue of entertainment talent, Amstell’s stand-up tour is sure to do anything but disappoint. Simon Amstell has previously appeared at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and enjoyed rave reviews, Amstell can even lay claim to a complete sell-out at The Bongo Club. In 2009 he performed “Do Nothing” at the Royal Court Theatre and later recorded the stand-up for DVD release and BBC televising. Simon Amstell is appearing in Manchester on 6th June 2012 at the Lowry Theatre. Get tickets and you are sure to have a great night.

The Sunshine Underground met whilst studying at college and worked hard to create an image and a sound for their band. Their first album, Raise the Alarm, received enthusiastic reviews and NME described the album as the “first great album of the new rave movement”.  The Sunshine Underground went from strength to strength and they’ve now played some of the biggest festivals in the country, including Glastonbury, Reading/Leeds Festival and T in the Park. Sadly, in February last year, bass guitarist, Daley Smith, announced that he would be leaving the band to pursue other “adventures”. The remaining 3 confirmed that they would be continuing the band and this tour sees their first in their new line up.

2012 will see the return of Keane, one of the biggest British acts of recent years. The band made a huge impact on the charts from the beginning. Their debut album, 2004’s “Hopes and Fears” won the number 1 spot on the album chart on its first week of release, and top 10 singles like “Somewhere Only We Know” and “Everybody’s Changing” brought the band mainstream success. The band’s popularity is not limited to the UK however, as “Hopes and Fears” would sell over 5 and a half million copies around the world. The band continues to challenge themselves with their next albums which saw them change their approach. “Under the Iron Sea” saw them make music that was more atmospheric and darker than their debut, whilst its follow up “Perfect Symmetry” was an upbeat pop record.

The Keane boys are set to release a new album this year, entitled “Strangeland”, which should be out this May. To celebrate the release of their new record, the band will be touring the UK, coming to Manchester on 30th May 2012. They will be playing the Manchester Apollo and that night will be a great chance for all Keane fans to hear their new material being performed live, as well as some of their best songs from previous albums. If you haven’t got yourself a ticket for the show yet you should move quickly as demand is high.
