James Roderick Moir (born 24 January 1959), also known by his stage name Vic Reeves, is an English comedian and artist. He has a double act with Bob Mortimer as Reeves & Mortimer. He is known for his surreal sense of humour.

In 2003, Reeves and Mortimer were listed in The Observer as one of the 50 funniest acts in British comedy. In a 2005 poll to find the Comedians' Comedian, Reeves and Mortimer were voted the ninth-greatest comedy act ever by fellow comedians and comedy insiders.[1]

Early life

Moir was born in Leeds, the son of Audrey (née Leigh) and James Neill Moir (1926–2004). At the age of five, he moved to Darlington,[2] County Durham, with his parents and younger sister Lois. He attended Heathfield Infants and Junior School and went on to the nearby secondary school, Eastbourne Comprehensive in Darlington. After leaving school, Reeves undertook an apprenticeship in mechanical engineering at a factory in Newton Aycliffe.[3] Eventually he moved to London, where he attended the Polytechnic of North London and Middlesex Polytechnic.

Early career

Moir formed the Fashionable Five, a group of five friends (including Jack Dent, who ran the original Fan Club) who would follow bands like the Enid and Free onto stage, and perform pranks (including Reeves pretending to have a brass hand, and following a Terry Scott lookalike around Darlington town centre in single-file formation). Moir had an early breakthrough with the help of comedian Malcolm Hardee.

Before finding fame with his comedy, Moir was a member of several bands with many different names and musical styles, in which he usually played lead guitar and/or sang.

Shooting Stars, was sent a tape of Moir's band Fan Tan Tiddly Span.[7] When Moir appeared, as Vic Reeves, on Never Mind the Buzzcocks in 1998,[8] Lamarr repeatedly played a sample from the song "Fantasia (Side A)"[9]
in an attempt to embarrass him.

In 1983, Moir began a part-time course at a local

television shows
and form a major part of his 1999 book, Sun Boiled Onions.

As Vic Reeves

Television and Radio

As well as working and performing in bands in London, including being an original member of the Industrial/Experimental band

Light Entertainer"- Vic Reeves, whose name is derived from two of his favourite singers, Vic Damone and Jim Reeves. His stage show Vic Reeves Big Night Out began life as a regular Thursday night gig at Goldsmith's Tavern, New Cross (now the New Cross House). Here, he met Bob Mortimer, a solicitor
who attended the show and enjoyed it so much that he soon began to participate.

Reeves' television début came in December 1986 on Channel 4 Television's The Tube in a comedy game show segment called "Square Celebrities", suspended by a wire to ask the "celebrities" questions. His next appearance was on the short-lived chat/comedy show One Hour with Jonathan Ross in a game show segment known as Knock Down Ginger. Reeves' growing TV profile led to Big Night Out being given a slot on Channel 4 the following year. It was about this time that Reeves and Bob Mortimer rented a back room at Jools Holland's office/recording studio in Westcombe Park, Greenwich where they would spend hours writing material.

Reeves continued to work alongside Mortimer as a comedy duo in a series of 1990s programmes,

Little Britain. A 1994 pilot written by Paul Whitehouse and Charlie Higson entitled The Honeymoon's Over was due to feature Chris Bell, a character from The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer; however, the series was never commissioned. The same year, Reeves made a guest appearance on the Radio 1 series Shuttleworth's Showtime, hosted by John Shuttleworth. Between August 1998 and May 1999, Reeves and Mortimer presented the Channel X produced BBC Saturday game show Families at War with Alice Beer
.

Reeves played

Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased), a revival of the original 1960s series, with Mortimer as Randall, Emilia Fox as Jeannie Hopkirk, and Tom Baker as Wyvern. In 2000, Reeves presented a series entitled, Vic Reeves Examines on UK Play, featuring celebrities such as Ricky Gervais, Johnny Vegas, Lauren Laverne and Emma Kennedy discussing a topic of their choice. The same year, Reeves presented a one-off radio show on BBC Radio 1
, entitled Cock of the Wood.

In 2004 Reeves and his wife, Nancy Sorrell were both contestants in the fourth series of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!. He also appeared in the series Catterick with Mortimer appearing as several characters. In September 2005, Reeves hosted a show for Virgin Radio called Vic Reeves Big Night In produced by Mark Augustyn, for a short period on Wednesdays and Thursdays from 7.00pm.

Reeves presented a historical ten-part series, entitled Rogues Gallery, which was shown on the

ITV Tyne Tees
about Northeast comedy culture called It's Funny Up North with... Vic Reeves.

In 2007, Reeves hosted a show called Vic Reeves Investigates: Jack the Ripper. Reeves, with the help of historians and leading experts, tried to discover who Jack the Ripper was. At the end of the show, he came to the conclusion that Jack the Ripper was Francis Tumblety. On 8 May 2007, Reeves was the main presenter of Brainiac: Science Abuse during the fifth and sixth series, replacing Richard Hammond.[11] Beginning in June 2007, Reeves presented a BBC Radio 2 panel game called Does the Team Think?. On 17 November 2007, Reeves appeared in a weekly sketch show on BBC Radio 2, entitled Vic Reeves' House Arrest. The show's premise was that he had been put under house arrest for "a crime he didn't commit", and each episode consists of the various events that take place in and around his house on a particular day. Mortimer plays his housecall-making hairdresser, Carl, while other performers include The Mighty Boosh star Noel Fielding as a local vagrant who comes to Reeves' door on a weekly basis looking for work, as well as Nancy Sorrell in multiple roles.[12]

On 27 February 2008, Reeves announced that he and Mortimer were working together on a new sitcom about superheroes who get their powers through a malfunctioning telegraph pole.

Five, Dangerous Adventures for Boys, based on the best-selling book written by Conn and Hal Iggulden, The Dangerous Book for Boys
.

In February 2009, Reeves appeared as presenter of the first episode of My Brilliant Britain, one of the new television shows commissioned for

UKTV People channel's relaunch as Blighty.[14] On 25 August 2009, Reeves appeared as a guest on BBC One's The One Show with Mortimer. Series 6 of Shooting Stars began airing on 26 August 2009 with Reeves and Mortimer, along with Ulrika Jonsson and Jack Dee as team captains. Reeves appeared as one of the guests in Reece Shearsmith's Haunted House, a light-hearted radio discussion show broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in two parts on either side of Halloween on 29 October 2009 and 5 November 2009.[15]

In July 2011, Reeves and Mortimer released a selection of YouTube improvised comedy sketches, in association with Foster's. They released their "Afternoon Delight" clips every weekday afternoon in July.[16]

In 2020, Reeves co-hosted the Netflix original, reality series The Big Flower Fight alongside Natasia Demetriou.[17]

Advertising

For advertisements featuring both Reeves and Mortimer, see Vic and Bob § Advertising.

Reeves has appeared in television advertisements, both with Mortimer and alone. He has done solo advertising work for a variety of products including

Cadburys Boost and Churchill Insurance. Mortimer voiced the nodding bulldog, Churchill, and in early adverts, Reeves' voice would ask questions about car insurance, to which Churchill replied with his catchphrase, "Oh, yes!" However, in 2005 Reeves was dropped from the adverts after being arrested on charges of drunk-driving.[18]

Music

As part of early Big Night Out performances, Reeves would sometimes hand out promotional materials to the audience. On one occasion he handed out a 7" flexi disc of original song "The Howlin' Wind".[19] Having surplus copies of the discs, Reeves passed them on to Darlington-based band Dan, who then included a copy of the disc with their album Kicking Ass at T.J.'s.[20][21]

Album

UK Singles Chart, respectively.[23]

Singles

For information about the singles released from "I Will Cure You", see I Will Cure You § Singles.

In 1995, Reeves and Mortimer released a cover of

UK Singles Chart.[24] Reeves had a history with the track, having both sung it at the beginning of early Big Night Out performances in London, and opened the Channel 4 series with it.[25] In the music video, which was directed by Reeves,[26] the duo dress as Mike Nesmith and Davy Jones of the Monkees.[25][27] On the CD release of the single, a studio version of "At This Stage I Couldn't Say" is included, a track originally sung by characters Mulligan and O'Hare in The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer.[28] On the 7" release, the bonus track is "At Least We've Got Our Guitars", which was the opening song for the last episode of The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer.[29]

In April 2007, the theme to British stop-motion animation Shaun the Sheep, sung by Reeves, was released as a single.[30] The song reached No. 20 on the UK Singles Chart.[31]

Contributions

In 1990, both Reeves and Mortimer contributed backing vocals to Jools Holland's "Holy Cow" (a Lee Dorsey cover). The track was included on Holland's album World of his Own and released as a single.[32][33] Later, Reeves would advertise Holland's album Moving Out to the Country.[34]

Also in 1990, Reeves provided backing vocals for former Smiths singer Morrissey's cover of "That's Entertainment", originally by the Jam.[32][35] Reeves' vocals were not used in the final edit but he was thanked (as Jim Moir) in the sleeve notes of Morrissey's "Sing Your Life" single, which featured "That's Entertainment" as a bonus track.[36][37] A fan of the Smiths, Reeves opened some episodes of Big Night Out with covers of the band's songs including "Sheila Take a Bow" which he intended to include a cover of on his album I Will Cure You. It did not make the final cut.[35]

In 1992, Reeves contributed a track to Ruby Trax, a compilation album released by NME magazine to commemorate 40 years of the publication. He covered the Ultravox song "Vienna", but drastically altered the original lyrics.[38]

In 1998, Reeves contributed to

Twentieth-Century Blues: The Songs of Noel Coward, a tribute album featuring notable singers and bands such as Elton John, Sting, Robbie Williams and Paul McCartney. Reeves covered Coward's 1934 track "Don't Put Your Daughter on the Stage Mrs. Worthington", which was arranged by David Arnold for the album. The song, described by Reeves as "sinister",[39] was initially recorded with all original verses intact, but as the last included foul language, it was edited out of the final release.[39]

In 2000, Reeves' cover of "

Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) series in which he starred. Reeves was originally to duet with Nina Persson (of the Cardigans), who provided vocals, but missed the final cut.[40] A shortened version of Reeves' cover also featured in the series itself.[41]
Both Reeves and Mortimer appeared in the music video for the single.

Music videos

For music videos from I Will Cure You, see I Will Cure You § Music videos.

Other than the music videos for his own singles, Reeves has appeared in others. His first was the 1987 video for Shakin' Stevens' single "What Do You Want to Make Those Eyes at Me For".[42] He was hired for the shoot and paid £10 for his appearance.[32][43]

Reeves also appeared in the 1988 music video for

Band of Holy Joy's song "Tactless". He introduces the band and can be seen at the bar part way through. The video was filmed in Deptford, London and original advertising posters for Big Night Out can be seen at the beginning.[32][44]

Art

Moir has produced art both under the name Jim Moir and Vic Reeves. This reflects that his art, while serious, also combines with his comedy. Moir works in many media including painting, ceramics, photography and lino prints.[45] His work has been described as Dada-esque, surreal and sometimes macabre. For Moir, his art and comedy are different ways of expressing the same idea. He says "I think putting your imagination on canvas or a television screen is the same thing"[46] and "I don't differentiate between painting, acting or comedy. I think everything I do is art."[47] Moir has stated that he is an artist first and a comedian second, and that in ten years time he would like to be remembered for his art and writing, rather than his comedy.[46][48]

Moir has said that art should be "just for laughs"[49] and that he dislikes people looking for statements in his work, because there are none. "If something makes me laugh, that's it."[50] "I've done straight drawings and paintings ... and I haven't got as much pleasure out of them as if I'd done something that would make me laugh."[51] His work has been described by artists Jake and Dinos Chapman as "able to command our laughter as a purgative, to encourage the viewer to leak at both ends".[52] Artist Damien Hirst, a friend, has also described Moir's work as Reeves as an influence.[49][53] This crossover of comedy and art often features within Reeves and Mortimer's television shows. A notable example is The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer's first episode. Several of Reeves' drawings are featured, illustrating the lyrics of the opening song. (These drawings would later be published within his book Sun Boiled Onions.) As seen in the script book for the show, Reeves often drew sketches for the BBC's costume and set designers saying that "if we just tell them what we want, it never ends up looking like it does in our minds".[54]

Background and education

Arts and crafts played a large part in Moir's upbringing. His mother and father, a

seamstress and typesetter by trade, made extra money by selling handmade wooden crafts and ceramics at local markets.[55] Building on these money-making schemes, Moir began charging for his own artistic services such as customising and painting his school friend's Haversack bags[56] and elaborately embroidering clothing.[55] Later he would go on to forge artworks his acquaintances liked with the aim of selling them to them.[50] Wanting to study art, but being pressured into work, Moir began a five-year engineering apprenticeship at a factory in Newton Aycliffe with the aim of working in their technical drawings department.[57]

After completing the apprenticeship, Moir applied to

Sir John Cass College, where he is now an honorary graduate.[59] Once leaving college, he worked as a curator at The Garden Gallery, an independent London gallery. It was there that he held his first art exhibition in 1985, with the help of a grant from Lewisham Council.[60]

Published work and exhibitions

As Vic Reeves, he has released two books of his art, Sun Boiled Onions in 1999 and Vic Reeves' Vast Book of World Knowledge in 2009. His drawings also appear in his autobiography Me:Moir Volume One, and the published script book for The Smell of Reeves and Mortimer.

Channel 5 series Name That Tune.[54]

Reeves has hosted several exhibitions of his artwork, including:

In 2010, a selection of Reeves' paintings were displayed at the Saatchi Gallery, London as part of an exhibition by charity The Art of Giving. He was also a judge for the charity's open art competition.[67]

In 2012, Reeves took part in the Illuminating York festival. His illuminations, known as "Wonderland", were projected across a number of historic buildings including the Yorkshire Museum, St Mary's Abbey, and the ten-acre site of York Museum Gardens.[68][69]
