Patton Brothers

The Patton Brothers, Jimmy Elliott , and Brian Elliott , are the two older brothers of Barry and Paul Elliott, The Chuckle Brothers. They began their career as a double act in 1954.

Jimmy and Brian both grew up in Rotherham, like their brothers The Chuckle Brothers, but were born in Kent. Their late brother Colin never became an actor, and their late sister Sheila was married to the actor Bill Waddington, who played Percy Sugden in Coronation Street. Jimmy and Brian are the sons of Jimmy Elliot, a comedian who later became known as Gene Patton as there was already a Jimmy Elliot in the business. When Jimmy left school, he joined Britains Dead End Kids in 1946 and performed in five pantomimes before Brian joined and teamed up with Jimmy. Jimmy and Brian got their big break in 1956 when they performed in an Aladdin pantomime as Chinese Policemen, a role that they have performed eight times since. Other roles have included Ugly Sisters, Brokers Men, Henchmen and Chief and Dame. They have appeared alongside many British pantomime favourites such as Barbara Windsor, Ronnie Corbett, The Chuckle Brothers and John Inman.
