Two Jim chats and a Bob one in there. All really funny. I'm sure Jim is pissed in the first one

Vic isn't actually that interested in doing comedy any more. Maybe that's why whenever he's appeared on stuff in the last decade it's felt a bit dialled-in. He pretty much concentrates on being an artist now, which was always his real love.
There's a brilliant recent interview with him on the Adam Buxton podcast. A very thoughtful and funny man when just talking normally:

Think I’ll go with the audiobook.
Seen the pair of them at the city hall a few year ago and it was superb. Vic/Jim cracked an ad lib joke to Bob and he was pissing himself laughing, which led to everyone else laughing along even though we hadn’t a clue what was said.

Was that the show that was also half Fast Show live? If so, I was at that as well.

I just started the physical book last week and enjoying it so far. I'm tempted to do the audiobook at some point if it's him reading it, as I can imagine he brings something extra to it. Curious how they do things like photos - presumably they can't...there's a couple of funny, typically Bob, random photos in amongst all the normal formative years stuff, like a "nice pie," a blackhead remover, and a packet of segs. Nutbucketry of the highest order :lol:

I think you might be a bit of a lone voice there.. Vic struggles on panel shows and the like.. he always appear to try too hard and struggles to be as quick witted

he’s quite shy I think, so if he’s not in total charachter he struggles

I'm quite enjoying him with Jools Holland on the Jools' and Jim's Joyride podcast at the moment, and I think that's probably more his pace and can be edited to suit, but I agree that Bob comes across as more naturally witted in a live situation

He was pretty good on 8 out of 10 cats does countdown. I'd say I laughed more at Vic than most of the other guests they've had on. Apart from that nut Adam Riches who calls himself and parodies Sean Bean. His act was so daft it was hilarious.
