Vic Reeves & Bob Mortimer’s promoter has confirmed that comedian Bob Mortimer has undergone a successful triple bypass heart operation, and subsequently their Plymouth show on Sunday 29 November has been cancelled.

Following the operation, Bob will need to rest and recuperate for several weeks. Because of this, the first leg of the upcoming UK tour ‘25 Years of Reeves and Mortimer – The Poignant Moments’ has been cancelled.  It is hoped that the January and February 2016 shows will go ahead as planned.

A spokesperson for Bob Mortimer, said: “Bob would like to thank his Consultant and all the nursing staff at the hospital for looking after him so well.  He now needs several weeks to fully

recover, so unfortunately the first leg of the UK tour will be cancelled.  Bob very much hopes to be fit and well enough to perform the second leg in January next year.”

Bob's comedy partner, Vic Reeves, said: "I'm so pleased the operation has gone well and Bob is fixed. Many thanks to the surgeon."

All existing Plymouth Pavilions tickets for the show on Sunday 29 November will be automatically refunded unless your original payment details have changed or expired. If you believe your original payment details have changed please call our ticket store on 0845 146 1460.
