  • The unstoppable Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer are the well-deserved recipients of this prestigious Aardman award at Slapstick Festival at Bristol Old Vic back in 2015. Their innovative and seminal work, from Vic Reeves’ Big Night Out, Shooting Stars to House of Fools, has placed them as the undisputed champions of visual comedy over the past three decades. Their unique brand of alternative visual comedy employs surrealism, bizarre tangents, hilarious silliness and slapstick asides. This was a roller-coaster event, hosted by Marcus Brigstocke with clips and chat plus the onstage presentation of the Aardman Slapstick Award for “outstanding contribution" to visual comedy.
    Some clips have been removed due to copyright restrictions. Apologies.

    Big Night Out was tremendous. They always play it down a bit and the clip they showed really doesn't do it justice at all. Vic Reeves' talent really shone on that - the ingenuity of the props and art, the singing, the slapstick, the character writing, the rapport with the audience, the whole format was just inspired. There will never be anything like it again

    It's so lovely to see these two together and it's not just the nostalgia of their shows.
    It's their warm, relaxed, noncompetitive humour and comfort in each other's company. It feels such a privilege to watch them make make each other laugh after all these years.
    They're entirely devoid of the usual dick-swinging that inevitably results from comedians in the same vicinity who just feel compelled to out-funny each other.
    They're quite simply - gentle men who have never felt the need to please anyone else other than each other. I'm not sure people truly appreciate just how startlingly rare that is and how sad that we've never seen anything like that since.
    I really cherish all they do together and apart. Long, LONG may it continue.

    So good. As they talk about slapstick, I think of Bottom / Ade / Rick stuff, who seemed to be modern masters of the form (to my mind at least). Did vic and Bob do anything with those two? I can't think of anything as a life long fan of all of them.

    • @Paddy.C
      @Paddy.C 3 месяца назад

      During one of the 'Bottom' live shows, when Ade was trying to cast a spell, he included 'Iranu Uvahvu' in the incantation.
      Rick broke character, and said "Yeah, may as well go the whole hog, and rip off their entire catalogue".
      So, I think they were well aware of the similarities.
