Reeves & Mortimer head for Plymouth

Back by huge popular demand, comedy legends Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer will be taking their critically acclaimed live show – ‘25 Years of Reeves & Mortimer: The Poignant Moments’ – back on tour this Autumn with 13 shows starting at Glasgow’s Clyde Auditorium on 29th November. The tour will then travel to Newcastle, Nottingham, Blackpool, Portsmouth, Plymouth, Cardiff, Birmingham, Bournemouth, Sheffield, Bristol, Manchester and Liverpool.  Tickets for all shows go on-sale on Friday 8th April at 9am.

Announcing the new shows, Vic Reeves said: “We had a super marvellous time on tour earlier this year.  We had forgotten how much fun it was and got such a great response from our encouragers we decided we had to go out and do it again.”

Bob Mortimer added: "We enjoyed the tour so much that we've decided to do it again. We will be energised and plumptious due to a long summer spent wrapped in an oil soaked carpet. Talking of carpets, not only will we be singing about them, but will also be wearing them in protest against the spread of laminate and ceramic flooring. Hope you will be able to come along and join in.”

'25 Years of Reeves and Mortimer: The Poignant Moments’ is a celebration of the first 25 years of their professional collaboration from Vic Reeves Big Night Out (Channel 4 1990) through Smell of Reeves & Mortimer (BBC Two 1993/4), Bang, Bang It’s Reeves & Mortimer (BBC Two 1999), Shooting Stars (BBC Two 1999-2011) and House Of Fools (BBC Two 2014 & 2015).

Previous live shows include Brown 1591 (1991), Puce 1694 (1994) and Weathercock 1495 (1995). This tour is a nostalgic moment in the annals of comedy history and a hotly anticipated ticket for fans hoping to catch a glimpse of some of their most popular characters, Man With the Stick, The Stotts, Mulligan and O’Hare, amongst others.

As always with Vic and Bob, there will be some uplifting moments, some musical moments, maybe some magic, several dancing styles, some show of physical strength, but always some poignant moments.

25 Years of Reeves & Mortimer: The Poignant Moments comes to Plymouth Pavilions on Wednesday 7 December 2016.
