James Roderick Moir (born 24 January 1959), commonly known by his stage name Vic Reeves, is an English comedian and artist.He has a double act with Bob Mortimer as Reeves & Mortimer.
Reeves and Mortimer, colloquially known as Vic and Bob, are a British double act consisting of Vic Reeves (born 24 January 1959; real name Jim Moir) and Bob Mortimer (born 23 May 1959). They have written and starred in several comedy programmes on British television since 1990, with Reeves having made his first TV appearance in 1986.
The first shows were attended by a few friends whom Moir had invited to see his performance, one of whom brought solicitor Bob Mortimer along with him. Mortimer soon became friendly with Moir, and was invited on the stage to talk about his day at work. He soon became a regular fixture in the show and began to write material with Moir.
Mortimer soon became an integral part of the performance, providing him with a weekly break from his legal work, which had begun to disillusion him. [citation needed] [10] Reeves and Mortimer made their television debut on the short-lived 1989 comedy chat show One Hour with Jonathan Ross, in the game show segment known as "Knock down ginger".
