Vic Reeves was born James (Jim) Roderick Moir in Leeds on 24th January 1959, to Jim and Audrey Moir, and although only stayed in Leeds for the first five years of his life before moving to Darlington co. Durham, can still be considered a son of Leeds.

His young life was a typical northern working class one, with Jim (known as Rod, to avoid confusion with his father) leaving Eastbourne school without any qualifications, and a dream of attending art school. This dream could not be achieved (yet) for a working class lad, but he admits in his autobiography, to sneaking into the various classrooms and workspaces in order to work on his ideas.
