Jay Richardson, The Scotsman, 31st January 2016Limmy 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."

Libby Brooks, The Guardian, 25th July 2015Interview: comic Limmy on new short stories book

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!, 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 2013Alternating between whimsical and excoriating, Brian Limond's Glasgow-set sketch show has proved one of the most consistently enjoyable British comedies of recent years.
