But I couldn’t enjoy all the teenage/college age years. It was just not what I wanted to read about. 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. That’s all I can describe it as. I just didn’t want to read about him masturbating or his sexual encounters. It grossed me out and honestly made me want to DNF, which takes a lot, but it just wasn’t enjoyable or funny or even cringy. It was just bleugh. Laverde, Jake (2 July 2010).

Limmy is an atheist, and is in support of Scottish independence. He has been teetotal since 2004. He was in a relationship with Lynn McGowan from 2000 until their separation in 2022. He and Lynn have a son together. Another man fills up his mate’s biscuit tin without ever telling him about it, just to see what will happen. Again, it’s something that allows him to stay in and stay creative. “I love that you’re not putting on a big show, you just go live and talk about whatever comes to mind,” he says. “That’s my social life.”Harriett recommends a noir novel in the same vein as Chandler - The Expendable Man by Dorothy B Hughes who did not receive the same acclaim even though she was writing at the same time and also had books optioned and made into Hollywood movies. They asked him to write a book about mental health, since he sometimes talks about his mental health in interviews and tweets, like anxiety and suicidal thoughts, and what he has done to try and deal with it. As a parent, when it comes to some of the things you encountered – violent behaviour, the way young men can talk about sex – do you take hands-on role in terms of talking to your son about them?

Ships from the UK. Used book that is in excellent condition. May show signs of wear or have minor defects.Limmy has been noted for the parody tributes he often tweets on the announcement of a celebrity's death; he invariably posts that he "had the pleasure of meeting [them] at a charity do once. [They were] surprisingly down to earth, and VERY funny". Following the death of nightclub owner Peter Stringfellow, his tweet was mistakenly reported as a genuine tribute by Sky News. [31] So candid. I don’t think I ever read/listened to an autobiography like this one, and the honest nature of the writing makes it so worth the time, whether you know his work or not, this gets to the deep inner workings of a person. I loved all the coming of age stories, the humour of it, but also the fact that he is not really clowning his younger self or the personal significance of those moments. And how he made his own sketch show. He directed it himself. Plus he is a dad, and an adult. Yet he still feels like a mad freak from all those years ago. He still feels like throwing it all away, just to get a laugh. a b "British Academy Scotland Awards Winners in 2011". BAFTA Scotland. 13 November 2011 . Retrieved 13 June 2020.

In that Lloyd Cole review, which you can see Limmy talking about on his youtube channel, Lloyd Cole said maybe one reason he didn't get into the book was because he didn't know Limmy's work when he read it, and that much makes sense. If you are a fan of Limmy you will get much more from this than someone who doesn't know him. Personally, I am a huge fan of "Limmy's Show", so when he starts talking about the "Millport" sketch or the "Yoker" sketch I know exactly what he is talking about and found it fascinating to see the genesis of the ideas behind these sketches and how they came to be made. If you are not a fan, that may be less interesting, though you can always watch the sketches on youtube as you are reading.
