Comment(by Viper007Bond):

 Replying to [comment:1 azaozz]:
 > Perhaps have a look at `the_widget($widget, $instance = array(), $args =
 array())`. It would output an instance of a widget. For recent comments it
 would be `the_widget( 'WP_Widget_Recent_Comments' );`.

 I had briefly thought about trying to get the widget run on it's own, but
 then I thought it wouldn't work due to settings, etc.

 Good to know (I ended up using a plugin). Thanks!
