Review: Limmy Live!, Clyde Auditorium, Glasgow

Emboldened by his recent book tour, Brian Limond's first proper live performance since the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe confirms he can cut it as an arena draw.

Limmy tells why 2015 became one of his best years

Director, comedian, performer, author, meditator, father, philosopher. Which one's Brian Limond? "I'm just someone who likes making lots of things up and trying to be funny," he said. "That's about it."

Paul English, Daily Record, 17th January 2016

Interview: Limmy

"I did my first proper shows at the Fringe in 2007 and I loved it," explains Brian Limond. "That was a tiny room and the people were right there - it was like doing a show in your living room with your aunties and uncles."

Interview: comic Limmy on new short stories book

Variously featuring death, psychosis and 'things that are out of order', internet star Brian Limond's first collection of short stories is as provocative as the comedian's Bafta Scotland winning cult TV creation, Limmy's Show, which transfers to the stage next year. Jay Richardson meets him.

A new season of the Wipe is always welcome. Each week, Brooker casts his customarily jaundiced eye across the worlds of the media, politics and the internet, as well as developments in TV, cinema, computer games and social media. Part of his success is that he doesn't hog the show but gets in good wingmen. Tonight's opener features contributions by comedians Jake Yapp and Brian Limond of Limmy's Show, as well as regular guest and American cultural correspondent Doug Stanhope.

Limmy's Show to return for final special

Limmy's Show!, Brian Limond's BBC Scotland sketch series, is to return for a final special at Christmas, potentially alongside new Rab C Nesbitt.

British Comedy Guide, 22nd September 2013

Alternating between whimsical and excoriating, Brian Limond's Glasgow-set sketch show has proved one of the most consistently enjoyable British comedies of recent years. A shame, then, that its three series have been tucked away on BBC2 Scotland rather than aired to a wider audience. Hopefully, we'll see more of him in the wake of this BBC3 highlights package, which provides an introduction to the likes of downwardly mobile dreamer Dee Dee and thwarted adventure gameshow host Falconhoof.
