Vic Reeves
Biography
Jim Moir, alias Vic Reeves, came up through the comedy circuit, picking up fellow-traveller Bob Mortimer along the way. Since their surreal stage show Big Night Out tranferred to Channel 4 in 1990, Vic and Bob have gone from strength to strength, with a string of hit sketch shows and semi-spoof game shows, and even an entertaining kitschy revival of 60s private eye romp Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased). Jim also had a number one hit and released a very silly album, and has won plaudits for his paintings too.
Trivia
His drawings appeared in the title sequence for the 1990s revival of Name That Tune.
Vic is credited with discovering both Matt Lucas and Simon Day.
