Jim and Nancy Moir announce 'surreal' new live show at Leeds City Varieties

Leeds is set for a dose of the delightfully unpredictable as Jim and Nancy Moir officially announce their brand-new live show, Chin Wag Chit Chat.

Taking place at the historic City Varieties Music Hall this May, the show promises to be a rare glimpse into the shared creative life of one of Britain’s most quietly brilliant duos.

Step into the eccentric universe of Jim and Nancy, where conversation meets performance in a show that is entirely their own. Part storytelling, part art gallery, and wholly unpredictable, audiences can expect a joyful journey through the couple's eclectic passions—from birds and painting to television, modelling, and the curious rhythms of life in the 2020s.

Blending candid conversation with visual artistry, the pair will reflect on their careers and the unexpected paths their passions have taken them. Jim, best known as the surrealist mastermind Vic Reeves, will delve into his lifelong passion for ornithology and his acclaimed career as an international artist.

Nancy, an accomplished actress and presenter known for her roles in Love Actually and Catterick, brings her own natural stage presence and a shared love for the natural world that has made their television series, Painting Birds with Jim and Nancy, such a captivating success.

Jim said of the tour: “We are very happy to present ourselves in your region.

Hark at us, we have more yarns than a wool shop.”
