Surprisingly Down to Earth, and Very Funny

My Autobiography

De: Limmy

Narrado por: Limmy

The hysterical, shocking and incredibly intimate memoir from one of the most original and unique comedians alive today.

Hello! I’m Brian Limond, aka Limmy. You might know me from Limmy’s Show. Or you might not know me at all. Don’t worry if you don’t.

They asked me to write a book about mental health, because I sometimes talk about my mental health in tweets and interviews, like suicidal thoughts and anxiety, and what I’ve done to try and deal with it.

I said to them, oh, I don’t know if I could fill a whole book with just that. But how’s about I write a general autobiography type of thing, and all the mental health stuff will naturally appear along the way? I could talk about growing up and slashing my wrist and taking acid all the time and getting done for car theft and feeling like a mad freak that would never amount to anything.

And then how I made my own sketch show. I directed it and everything. Plus I’m a dad. I’m an adult. But I still feel like that mad freak from years ago. I still feel like chucking it all away, for a laugh.

I asked them if they wanted me to write about all that, plus some other stuff. Like being an alky. And my sexual problems. Stuff like that.

They said aye.

So here it is.

"One of the most innovative and fearless comedians on the block." (The Guardian)

"One of the most idiosyncratic and original comics working today." (The Independent)

brilliant

Big fan of Limmy from his YouTube stuff to now his streams. really enjoyed book and its made me think alot about my own mental health issues and helped. thanks limmy !

really solid

I need to write 15 words here but I don't know what to say other than that this is the most honest I've heard anyone be that's in the public eye.
probably more honest than people i know in real life.
this is more than 15 words now so I'll stop.

Hilarious, touching, enlightening, and very human.

A very fun listen. If you're already a Limmy fan then you'll love every bit of it and you'll enjoy all the call backs and further info on parts of the Limmy lore. It's a refreshingly candid look into mental health and depression that most people could benefit from giving a listen. Very funny and surprisingly down to earth indeed

If you love Limmy...

We really love Limmy. His sense of humor and way of thinking is awesome. Hearing his story by him has been enjoyable, relatable and fascinating. If you love Limmy’s show, go for it.

Helped me a lot and made me laugh

So happy I got this. Very funny and helped me a lot. I can't wait for the next one.

entertaining

loved it, well worth the listen, I laughed a good bit too. more words

Limmy's Book

Fucking great. Learned that "greetin" means crying. 10/10.

Super relatable the way he describes mental health. I only recently got into this dude's comedy but I think I'll be a fan for life after this book.

Laughed and Cried

Loved this book honest and funny a reminder for me of growing up in Glasgow

Its a solid book!

Solid book, great job Limmy! I got a good laugh but I did have to adjust to that "accent" lol

Disarmingly Honest and fun

I love Limmy for his sketches, his streams, and for his interviews and podcasts I’ve listened to. Didn’t expect to love this book as much as I did though. His stories are charming and insightful, and his delivery helps the darker bits land more like parables our a friend telling you a story he’d finish with “could ya believe that?”.

Great stuff, highly recommend—especially if you’ve had troubles with your head
