Not Limmy’s fault of course, but I view myself as someone who can appreciate crass humour or explicit sex stories - and the stuff in this book was just way too bleugh for me. Limmy’s journey to stardom from the Carnwadric council estate on the south side of Glasgow has been a bumpy one. To access you ebook(s) after purchasing, you can download the free Glose app or read instantly on your browser by logging into Glose. That being said, Limmy does wonder whether local childhood customs are to blame for his sometimes bleak worldview as an adult.
Billy Connolly may be a citizen of the world, but in his heart he's never been far from his homeland.

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. On one hand a fun book about Limmy's life and career to date, it's like he's chatting his life story; on the other hand an honest book about mental health, addiction, and overcoming the darkest thoughts. I love Limmy and really enjoy his humour, but this was just so beyond what I enjoy reading lol Of course, I didn’t expect jokes constantly and I honestly really enjoyed his view on mental illness and being human, even when his writing got very dark at times.
His earliest videos were largely short comedy skits and vlogs or showcasing musical remixes he had made using the program Ableton Live. She still misses her old friends, and, to make things worse, her mother has had a breakdown and can barely move from her bed.Norm then promptly took a two-year hiatus from stand-up comedy to live on a farm in northern Canada. Limond has struggled with mental health issues such as depression and suicidal thoughts, as well as a history of alcoholism.
Fans will recognise it as the mock-tribute he regularly posts on Twitter when news of a celebrity death breaks. Whether it's talking about an 'evil presence' or how he just knew that he 'had' to end his life at certain points and how he snapped out of it, it's a very stark and humbling read or listen at times. In this upbeat, entertaining autobiography, he recounts his career from its beginnings through the 1980s Monkees reunion and revival. It’s one example of his talent for meshing the frequently absurd world created by digital media with age-old insecurities like social anxiety.Born in a tenement flat in Glasgow in 1942, orphaned by the age of fourth and a survivor of appalling abuse at the hands of his own family, Billy's life is a remarkable story of success against all the odds. This is a refreshing read/listen in that way - Almost every other book with mental health as a cornerstone would try and offer some kind of help or explanation (nothing wrong with that at all, mind you) but in this Limmy just exposes it for the strange and maddening experience it can be and how it has defined certain moments or periods in his life.
After Megan goes against his wishes and attends the interview, Craig decides that it is time to act. The show ran for three series and a Christmas special between 2010 and 2013, and won two BAFTA Scotland awards. It's about being strange in a normal, subclinical* way: intrusive thoughts, groundless anxiety, reduced affect display, auditory hallucination, mild paranoia, misanthropy, hysteroid dysphoria.
