At the height of Big Night Out popularity, I had an idea for a tribute act called Big Vic's Reeves Night Out based on my facial similarity and moderately close accent - it wasn't going to feature any of his material, but would have had catchphrases and routines (like Novelty Island) in it.

1) I was drunk when I came up with it.
2) I would have had to find a Bob look-a-like, which I would never have got round to either.

I've been told I look like Bob.

I'm completely unfunny and have a posh voice -- could I 'be' Jimmy Carr?

Eddie Murphie started off by doing Pror routines for friends

We've already seen Tribute Films (GVS's Psycho) I just can't wait for the natural progression to Tribute Novels. Coming next week, Huck L. Buck types Gravity's Rainbow!
