It reads like a chronological collection of anecdotes surrounding the theme of being a bit of a weirdo, and sometimes that’s just what we need: a reminder that other people are as wonky as we are. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories. He does it without fail for anybody famous enough, and he has a large enough following that it occasionally gets picked up by news outlets and broadcast morosely in serious contexts. You start off when you’re younger feeling a bit out of your depth, but then you realise that they’re all these people in all of these different lines of work – and they’re all fucking shite at it!

Ten of Limmy’s funniest moments - Time Out Ten of Limmy’s funniest moments - Time Out

You get your fannies, your conservative right-wing types, your Piers Morgan sorts, who like to say things like, ‘Oh this is just a lot of nonsense, look at that fucking shite’, because it’s something that they didn’t hear before, and now they’re hearing it and it sounds like a big fashionable thing. In 2017, the BBC commissioned what was then a one-off special of Limmy's Homemade Show, which was broadcast in April 2018. I would recommend this book to everyone but I think a lot could be learned for teenagers and teenage boys. You can be an impressionable person – which I was – and want to be other people, rather than yourself.Limmy’s journey to stardom from the Carnwadric council estate on the south side of Glasgow has been a bumpy one. In Juin 2009, he wis hired bi the BBC fur a sax-shaw series cried Limmy's Show, a sketch shaw that stairted on BBC Scotland in Januar 2010. The best parts of the autobiography, therefore, are the parts where he talks about feeling weird, different, like a fuck-up, but also when these are juxtaposed with the normal facts of life like getting a job, having sexual or romantic troubles (and successes), not getting on with your flatmate, and trying not to become destitute. He rejynt BBC Scotland wi ainither sketch shaw, wi an ane-aff episode in 2018 an a full series in 2020.

Another carryover star from ‘Limmy’s World of Glasgow’ who made the switch to his BBC sketch show with hilarious results. Because I’m quite a public person, rather than a private, keeping-it-to-myself sort of person, all the stuff I typed about I’ve already told everybody about a million times anyway.

This is the first time I've read an autobiography where, in the very minor way of an average fan, I've shared so many of the moments mentioned in the book. Limmy is a funny bloke and this traipse through his ups and downs, his openness about his mental health and his humour flows with ease. a lot of stuff in this book was starkly relatable, I ADORED how it was written, I loved the honesty and the frankness and the humour and the liberal use of the word cunt. Atheists always seem to come out of religious arguments worse, in terms of how much it ruins their day.

Book review: Surprisingly down to earth, and very funny by Limmy

The shaw ran fur threy series an a Christenmas speicial atween 2010 an 2013, an wan twa BAFTA Scotland awairds. In June 2009, the BBC commissioned a six-episode series of Limmy's Show, a sketch show which premiered on BBC Scotland in January 2010.I haven't listened to anything else for the last few days, and it's the best thing I've listened to in ages.
