About this deal

Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast: RHLSTP 274 - Limmy". British Comedy Guide. 6 May 2020 . Retrieved 18 October 2020. Limmy joined YouTube on March 28, 2008, and uploaded his first video the following day. His earliest videos were largely short comedy skits and vlogs or showcasing musical remixes he had made using the program Ableton Live. He said: “When I went to the doctor for depression and anxiety, he gave me Prozac right away. There was no talk of a counsellor to know whether I was in the right frame of mind to take these things. I’d told him I felt suicidal. It was as simple as, ‘OK, here’s these, and here’s that.’ The Write Stuff: Three tales from Limmy's Daft Wee Stories". The Scotsman. 15 August 2015 . Retrieved 5 January 2022.

In that Lloyd Cole review, which you can see Limmy talking about on his youtube channel, Lloyd Cole said maybe one reason he didn't get into the book was because he didn't know Limmy's work when he read it, and that much makes sense. If you are a fan of Limmy you will get much more from this than someone who doesn't know him. Personally, I am a huge fan of "Limmy's Show", so when he starts talking about the "Millport" sketch or the "Yoker" sketch I know exactly what he is talking about and found it fascinating to see the genesis of the ideas behind these sketches and how they came to be made. If you are not a fan, that may be less interesting, though you can always watch the sketches on youtube as you are reading. Godfrey, Alex (19 May 2014). "Comedian Limmy opens up about depression". www.gq-magazine.co.uk. GQ . Retrieved 29 December 2021.What kinds of things do you think boys have to deal with today – do you think the experience is the same for them?

The world of Limmy is strange and wonderful. Walking a tightrope between observational comedy and eerie suburban horror, the Scottish comedian’s brand of humour is proud in its peculiarity. Whether it’s his sketches, Vines, live streams or short stories, you know what you’re getting: it’ll get a bit weird, it’ll get a bit dark – but children, you will laugh. Flammable Jam directors split but agency goes on". The Drum. 28 November 2001. Archived from the original on 12 December 2019 . Retrieved 25 June 2019.

Customer reviews

I remember guys talking about sex as something you did to a lassie, not something you did with her. I grew up in my teenage years thinking sex was a really important thing. Maybe I was scared of the emotional side of it because when it came to it, I couldn’t do it. I’d always make my excuses and leave.” a b "British Academy Scotland Awards Winners in 2011". BAFTA Scotland. 13 November 2011 . Retrieved 13 June 2020. it's not a completely encyclopedic look at his life, but does go from his first memories, to school, college/uni, jobs and relationships and some of the mishaps inbetween all along to even writing the book itself. I know this review has been more about me than Limmy but one more thing; there's a chapter called Eccy where he heard his friends laughing horribly at him, not as feint paranoid thoughts but 100% absolutely real and right there beside him. Because his friends weren't in the house, he knew it wasn't real soon enough. Well the blood drained from my face listening to this because the exact same thing happened to me twenty-something years ago and it was a major trigger in my breakdown and took many years to realize those voices weren't real and no one said that horrible stuff. I'm grand now! but it took a lot more than twenty minutes to recover from that one I can tell you. In 2014, Limmy had a regular segment in the second series of the Charlie Brooker news satire show Weekly Wipe. He is also known for his live webcam chats, in which he interacts with fans and makes music. [19] In 2015, Limmy wrote his first book titled Daft Wee Stories, published by Random House. [20] [21] To promote the book, Limmy embarked on a UK book reading tour. Three of the stories were also published in The Scotsman newspaper. [22] [23]
