Paul Chuckle is best known as one half of the famous, much-loved award-winning comedy pair The Chuckle Brothers (alongside his late brother Barry). The pair won the TV talent show New Faces, and had their own television series The ChuckleHounds, Chuckle Time, the Children’s BAFTA Award winning ChuckleVision, which was broadcast for over 20 years, and their own game show To Me, to You! They also featured in several episodes of BBC’s Walliams & Friends, as well as playing Crostini and Co in ITV’s Benidorm. Additionally on screen, Paul’s other credits include the role of Ronnie Hislop in BBC’s Doctors, Channel 5’s The Madam Blanc Mysteries and BBC’s Celebrity Master Chef. On stage, Paul has appeared in numerous pantomimes across the country and will star as Mr Boo in the National Theatre’s production of The Rise and Fall of Little Voice later this year. Away from the stage and screen, Paul tours the UK night clubs and universities with his DJ act. In the 2026 New Year Honours Paul was awarded the MBE from King Charles.
Zoe Birkett’s many West End credits include the title role of Tina Turner in TINA: The Tina Turner Musical at the Aldwych Theatre, Pippa in the world premiere of Roald Dahl’s The Witches at the National Theatre, Kim in The Great British Bake off Musicalat the Noël Coward Theatre and Arabia in the original cast of Moulin Rouge the Musical at the Piccadilly Theatre, for which she won the BroadwayWorld award for Best Supporting Performer in a Musical. Her other theatre credits include Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Dion in Hair, Acid Queen in Tommy, and Thriller Live. At sixteen years old, she became the highest placed female contestant in the first series of ITV’s Pop Idol. Most recently Zoe has graced the stage as the much-celebrated guest vocalist on Take That’s spectacular Circus Live Stadium Tour.
Disco diva Deloris’ life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a murder. Placed under protective custody she is hidden in the one place she shouldn’t be found – a convent! Encouraged to help the struggling choir, she inspires her fellow sisters to find their true voices as she unexpectedly rediscovers her own.
