Vic lands new book deal

Vic Reeves has landed a publishing deal for a collection of short stories.

The anthology, which is yet to be titled, follows his surreal 1999 title Sun Boiled Onions and last year’s autobiography, Me: Moir.

It will be published by Virgin Books in time for Christmas.

A spokesman for the publisher said: ‘Vic Reeves has a unique brand of comedy - witty, inventive and surreal.

‘Reminiscent of Spike Milligan, his short stories are darkly funny. We look forward to building his profile as one of the funniest writers at work in Britain today.’

Me: Moir will be re-released in paperback in May. Click here to buy.
