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.

You’d be forgiven for thinking that the show was named in honour of the strange liminal space it inhabits, but no. There was no talk of a counsellor to know whether I was in the right frame of mind to take these things.

In terms of other material in the book, I checked with my girlfriend and she asked to keep our private stuff out but said she wanted to read about the rest of the details. While his ­autobiography will doubtless have the same skewed undertone, it’s also set to lay bare some of his shocking experiences with violence, misogyny, sexual paralysis and mental illness. Seller has stated it will dispatch the item within 1 working day upon receipt of cleared payment - opens in a new window or tab . I’ve had those feelings of panic, feelings when you think you’re getting watched, like The Truman Show.Maybe it's because he is used to writing up his thoughts, as he details in the various segments about his time on Twitter and away from the sitcom circle. com as soon as I heard about it, and the blog that followed, and I remember some of his twitter storms.

It’s a mantra which has come to shape his decade-long career producing some of television’s most irreverent and obscure comedy. Candour alone doesn’t account for the amount of space he devotes to his first wank or the extent to which his sexual development was blighted by “fanny fright”. I did that thing where I enjoyed the book so intensely that I flew through it in one day, which is frustrating because I wanted it to go on forever. All I seem to be getting from the thread is that the criticism is that an autobiography was self centered. 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.

Its “raison d’etre” was meant to be to talk about mental health stuff, and it kind of does, but I submit that it is strongest for the fact that it shows you a normal guy who has fucked up, succeeded, fucked up some more, and is just plugging away at it. Atheists always seem to come out of religious arguments worse, in terms of how much it ruins their day. But it was in these unpromising circumstances that he discovered his ability to entertain, amusing friends with improvised LSD-fuelled skits well into the small hours. Your response to the title of this autobiography will likely mirror your wider opinion on the work of Brian Limond, the Glaswegian comedian known as Limmy. Now Brian Limond is set to follow his sketch show and collections of short stories by telling a tale even darker than those he’s created for his characters.

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. Between reading chapters of this book, I watched him compose a dance track in real time on the streaming platform Twitch, and most nights he can be seen live-streaming games or improvising short stories of the kind found in his previous two books, Daft Wee Stories and That’s Your Lot.

Reading the book feels like spending time with Limmy, a man who doesn’t always seem to enjoy spending time with himself.He’s like any of us (except, of course, with a better knack for weaving a funny story), and that makes us feel less alone.
