In Wombwell, Barnsley, there's a shop next to the roundabout that is colloquially referred to as the chuckle brothers shop because apparently one of you used to own it. Is this true? I've heard a few people who say it isn't true and it's just a rumour. I'm a firm believer that it's true though.

FASNASTIC671 karma

Barry: That is true, and I owned it about 15 years ago Paul: More than that! Barry: About 20 years ago, my wife used to run it while I was away working on shows Paul: And when we weren't working Barry would help out in the shop as well!

LoveRage463 karma

What's it like being global sex symbols?

FASNASTIC915 karma

Paul: What do you think Barry? Barry: Its rather flattering! Paul: Just goes to show you don't need those rippling muscles Barry: What like I do?

Heknarf450 karma

Hey Barry and Paul,

How much of a nightmare does moving house become when your removal men realise who you are?

FASNASTIC588 karma

Barry: It is actually quite flattering as they always recognise us right away, and as soon as they start they do their TO ME! TO YOU! business!

Paul: I had it once and they said they usually always do TO ME! TO YOU! but they daren't do it when I was around!

moviemana365 karma

You did a charity music video with Tinchy which came completely out of nowhere (and was awesome). How did it come about?

Also, is it possible for any two British people to move a bit of furniture without doing a "to me, to you" impression?

FASNASTIC394 karma

We did celebrity juice together, we were on the same gang, and I got on like wildfire with him and we had a laugh all day - so did Barry! Afterwards we exchannged phone numbers and I was tweeting selfies with tinchy and people were asking when the track was coming out! So I phoned tinchy and he said funnily enough i'm getting the same, So he said why don't we release a track togetehr? The idea was it would just be put out on instagram and twitter as a bit of fun, but it turned out really well so SBTV took it out for charity!
