STICK swinging, tear jerking and hair pulling - welcome to the madcap, wacky world of crazy Charlie Chuck.

The man who needs planning permission for his eccentric hairdo and has unlimited access to your funny bone brought his very own sense of humour to King George's Hall on September 5.

Bleating his famous catch phrases, Donkey and Cakey Pig, Charlie gave us an example of his own unique style of keep fit, told weird jokes and remembered the days when his mother locked him in a cupboard.

Probably most famous for his role as Uncle Peter in The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer, Charlie is a rare breed of comedian who has earned cult status following, despite sticking to the same material and gets away with it - probably because no one else would dare copy him!
