[@ElfSixDave]

I worked for Jim (Vic) and was in his house on 4 or 5 occasions. One day, his wife Nancy was making me a cup of tea, and shouted from the kitchen "Jim, wheres the sugar?", and he replied " I just threw it in the bin". Me and the guy fixing his kitchen floor, looked at each other and burst out into laughter. So very Vic Reeves

[@ignoblesurfer6281]

That cliff painting is superb, love the story behind it.

Extremely talented man, one of the funniest surreal comedians also, Big fan

[@emmajones9391]

These two are lovely together. So nice to see. Vic you and bob have made me laugh so much during lockdown shitdown. You are an incredibly talented person and I’m so glad you’re happy. I hope you see this comment, cause I really am glad for you. Now let me get into this dish. Xxxxx

[@BritishBoy1971]

They make a lovely and wonderfully talented couple. Good luck to them! 🙂

[@SugarHighHeather]

I've loved everything he's done since big night out. Just goes to show, be yourself and go your own way.

[@dr2stroke611]

For me he never seems as funny as when he is with Bob Mortimer. Bob is way funnier even when he is on his own

[@MrBaronCabron]

@@dr2stroke611 I'm opposite. I think with both, Vic steals the show, but separately, Bob is funnier.

[@plebjames]

@@MrBaronCabron I like it when Vic plays the more grown up, parent character and Bob is the silly one - but they tend to gravitate to the opposite roles where Bob is the adult- Either way - piss funny and they've made my life a couple of percent better that it would have been without them

[@suemount6042]

Love the way Nancy and Jim are, they enjoy life and their own company it shines through on every interview and appearance

[@davidrobinson2776]

I remember when Jim met Nancy and I thought he was going down the old “get famous, marry a model” route. Then you see how funny she is and how they are a real double act. Great couple.

Bless him - he seems much more at ease now than he was as Vic Reeves.

[@intergalactic-banana-]

What a great guy. I enjoyed watching you work on that portrait, a worthy winner. It’s even better to know you have a lovely wife and a happy home. 👍

[@StudioMagnetique]

I’ve told the story so many times - of me and my lady at the time being on holiday in Iceland for New Years Eve… I let the door to the visitor centre slam closed behind me, covering the couple behind us in snow from the roof. As they shook the snow off, to my shock, it was ‘Vic Reeves’. I was a massive fan and said something along the lines of “no way! Vic Reeves!’… he was not amused. I wonder if that was the year he bought the knife in this video?.. anyway. Apologies for that chap, and thanks for all the years of laughs. (Really liked the cliff /chalk painting by the way - beautiful idea).

[@hotpotat0es]

absolute made up crap

[@mikethebloodthirsty]

Yeh he's quite unhappy to be approached or noticed. I think he's a bit shy in certain circumstances, I saw him at At Pancreas with his son. Head straight down, walking fast getting out the station... you see some famous people and they actually LOOK around to see if people recognise them, not Vic Reeves.

[@repletereplete8002]

@@mikethebloodthirsty I'm from Whitby and he's been visiting the area on a regular basis all his life and I'd occasionally see him out and about with his family but I'd leave him be as it's known he can be shy and doesn't want to be bothered by folks coming up to him which I can appreciate as I'd be the same in his shoes. The only time I've seen him being overtly gregarious is when he was sat outside the church hall near my old flat clowning about with Morrissey the consumer monkey back around the time of the second series of big night out.
