	Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer - Speakers Biography - Celebrity Speakers Limited
		The comedy double act of Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer has been part of British TV for the past decade, taking them from cult status on Channel 4 to prime time success on the BBC.
		Vic began doing stand-up comedy and chose 'Vic Reeves' as just one of many different stage aliases he would use each night and for some reason it stuck.
		Bob attended one of Vic's marathon three hour performances, which was part music, part satire of variety shows, some physical comedy; in other words, anything for a laugh, which he now admits was mostly "performance art" most of the time.

	Vic Reeves Examines... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Vic Reeves Examines (starting this month) is a 13-part discussion show in which the man himself talks to a guest on a single topic for half an hour.
		The tone, as ever with Vic, is verging on mock-serious, but think ‘talking rubbish with your mates at the pub for a laugh’ and you’ll come closer to the overall style.
		Vic also uses the medium of painting (of which he’s critically acclaimed for) to help him illustrate his points and a display of everyday objects connected to the subject is reminiscent of the art installations housed in the new Tate Modern.

	Vic Reeves Big Night Out at AllExperts
		Vic Reeves Big Night Out was a cult British comedy stage show and later TV series which ran on Channel 4 for two series in 1990 and 1991, as well as a New Year special.
		Vic uses them as a means to various ends, such as trading them for a car, signing them up to the territorial army and selling their souls to the devil.
		He is Reeves' arch-rival and sour-lipped foil who each week would enter the "Novelty Island" segment of the show with increasingly pathetic acts and would share a heated argument with Vic.

	eyestorm - Vic Reeves
		As fans of this giant of TV comedy might expect, Vic Reeves' art works mix the surreal and the mundane in a seriously amusing way.
		Ram-raiding disparate sources of contemporary iconography from celebrities to wildlife and explosives, Reeves' playfully deranged works are held together by their stylistic tact and control.
		Although Reeves primarily is known as a comedian, he is also gaining a reputation as an artist, having studied at Sir John Cass College in Whitechapel in the mid 80s.

		Many will be familiar to fans of Vic Reeves, but this exhibition provides them with a chance to view these works in person and see details that do not show up well in reproductions or television appearances.
		Reeves' inspiration for this style was some drawings he saw in a book of Elvis art by fans.
		Although this appropriation of pop culture references in a (somewhat) fine art setting could be seen as typical postmodern self-referential irony, one gets the impression that Reeves' works are not at all disdaining of their subjects; instead, his obvious enthusiasm and love of the subjects shines through.

		You would, but the world has often struggled to keep up with Reeves’ relentlessly juvenile take on things, thinking that one day he might stop the face-pulling and the messing about and perhaps grow up.
		Despite this official recognition of his prowess from the RA – plus a bird on the jacket of his just-published autobiography, ‘Me:Moir’ – Reeves claims he is not an obsessive birdwatcher.
		That reinvention was based on a nagging, obsessive humour developed during a childhood spent in the rural margins of Leeds (like stage partner Bob Mortimer, Reeves is a Yorkshireman) and Darlington.
