About this listen

Peopled with a wonderful collection of warm, wicked and weird characters, Vic Reeves’ memoir is an enchanting, surreal and utterly hilarious comic gem.

COMIC MASTERPIECE FROM ONE OF THE
BIGGEST NAMES IN BRITISH HUMOUR.

Vic, or Jim as he was known, grew up just like any other boy – terrified of his father’s immense moustaches, obsessed with owning his own crow and a master at writing his own name. Early brushes with evil prams, exploding model aeroplanes and consumption are soon swept away as Vic careers towards adulthood in this brilliant memoir of whimsical reminiscences and flighty invention.

Love Vic Reeves! this is fun and brilliantly narrated. Only thing didn't realize it was abridged, but we'll worth £3

I've ended up reading a lot of mens memoirs recently, and this was a welcome change to the obligatory ramblings about how the hair of their childhood crush looked in various lights for chapter after chapter. This book is far less indulgent than all that, and so far more enjoyable. Jim does a fantastic job of picking out the bits of his youth that are actually entertaining to listen to. Loved it.

Brilliant story telling capturing the essence on the young Rodney Moir and his motley crew , and his indifference to the mundane .

It says abridged but it's long enough. Can't wait for volume two to come out.

As funny as you would hope.

I've read this book before and loved it, so decided to get it on Audible. Vic Reeves really brings it to life. It starts off as you would imagine, lots of surreal flights of fantasy. As the book goes on I think he starts to enjoy the biography side of story telling, and although still surreal in parts he gives us a great account of he's childhood around the North East.

First off Jim is an incredible story teller who will have you laughing out loud on a regular basis, his delivery is fantastic & I'd happily listen to him read a phone book. This is a collection of stories and tales from his days growing up in the North East of England which will remind you of the daft stuff you did as a kid in your town plus give you an insight into the man he has become and the career he developed.

is it fact or is it fiction?Maybe a bit of both

Loved it, funny and surreal in places. Jim/Vic is a genius and a national treasure. I loved reading about where it all started.

Always been a fan of let’s call him Vic, since I first saw him on tv. Although most of my peers couldn’t get what to me was hilarious and still is to this day.
Loved the book. Very funny.
More please

Love Vic, Jim, Rod

I do like Vic Reeves who is a character created by Jim Moir, And this is the memoir of Jim Moir, amusingly titled Me:Moir, which, in itself is an act of comic genius. Along with Spike Milligan and Eric Morecambe, Vic Reeves is one of those people who can make you giggle just by thinking about him. I had already bought this book as an actual book (remember those, kids?) and had read the first few chapters when I saw that this was available on Audible too narrated by the man himself.
It does not disappoint. It tells the story of a young Jim growing up in Leeds and moving to Darlington and his childhood adventures including, amongst other things, budgerigars, painted haversacks, terrapin sandwiches, Hawkwind and the inspiration for the "Dove from Above" feature on Big Night. Bob Mortimer only gets a few passing mentions in the book. Presumably because he has now found his own fame and fortune larking about on the riverbanks with Paul Whitehouse. This is as absurd as it is brilliant.

Absurdly brilliant memoir

Hugely enjoyable tale read with aplomb. I’m already waiting for the next instalment from Mr Moir.
