  Vic Reeves Big Night Out, Too2Much, London | | Guardian Unlimited Arts
To promote the DVD release of their Channel 4 series Big Night Out, Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer were staging a one-off gig in a former Soho strip joint.
And when Vic describes Jordan rubbing her "boobs" to make a fire that will light Peter Andre's pipe, it becomes clear that the duo retain their flair for vivid word-pictures.
The silliness is often indistinguishable from puerility, as when Reeves uses a stick to simulate defecating ("it's not a shit, it's a stick") or Lucas dons a green jumpsuit and shouts "penis" a lot.

 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.

 Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Vic Reeves
James "Jim" Roderick Moir, more commonly known by the pseudonym Vic Reeves, (born January 24, 1959) is an English comedian, best known through his double act with Bob Mortimer (see Vic and Bob).
Reeves is one of the few comedians to have had a number one hit in the UK chart, which he did in company with The Wonder Stuff, singing Dizzy (previously a number one hit for Tommy Roe).
However, it is believed that Reeves' voice-over for the adverts was replaced by another voice artist - albeit in the same style - long before this incident (2004 at the latest), as now has Mortimer's.
