I'm listening to his autob on Audible and yes it is surprisingly down to earth but surprisingly not funny, but also a great listen.

He said at his (other) Manchester show the other night that he should be starting to film a full series of Homemade Show soon.

Did Limmy do the internet video where the dad character won't stop dad dancing and the son is like "stop him, he's got a heart condition!" while the dad goes "I miss her so much son!"?

hah, okay, yes now I found it. I wasn't sure if that's what you all were talking about, or if it was just uncannily like the one I was remembering

Song For Brexit Day is hilarious
― Robert Adam Gilmour, Saturday, 30 March 2019 12:27 (five years ago) link
aye was good.
that same day he did a morning walk stream, a dark souls stream, and an american truck driving stream. some work ethic on the boy.
on the truck driving stream that day he started talking about the song hazard by richard marx and then got folk to post the lyrics in the chat and did a really strained version of it. he then crashed his truck while singing it and said "it is a fucking hazard".
i was absolutely howling. maybe you had to be there though

― Funky Isolations (jed_), Thursday, 15 August 2019 21:03 (four years ago) link
he's got a few thousand subscribers i think, and he gets a few quid a month for each one. people can also donate 2 quid or "cheer" (not sure how that works exactly but he gets an in-twitch currency called "bits" for this which can then be converted into money when he has larger sums of them)

ah i see kinda.
― Funky Isolations (jed_), Thursday, 15 August 2019 21:14 (four years ago) link
subscribers pay monthly, so he's getting a few quid monthly, from a few thousand people, plus a bit of additional income from the donations and "cheers". it's basically his main job at the moment, though he has mentioned that he has been writing for some project (whether for another book or tv he hasn't confirmed)

On Limmy's stream today he was talking about feeling suicidal when his son was a toddler,leading to him going to the doctor for the first time regarding his depression and it was very affecting. I was tearing up at it. Daftest most puerile stream in the world most of the time too

― non-euclidean lenin (bizarro gazzara), Sunday, 27 October 2019 06:49 (four years ago) link
He doesnt seem like an arsehole to me. In the autobio he talks about not really having friends in primary school, and how his mother never told him that she loved him or cuddled him or anything (and obviously same with his da) and he is completely disinterested and unmoved when she suddenly gets ill and dies when hes in his late teens. He also just generally has difficulties forming relationships with people and is a fairly, to his own admission, bad father (though his love for his son is about the only strong emotion towards a person that he seems to have).
― Seany's too Dyche to mention (jim in vancouver), Sunday, 27 October 2019 07:10 (four years ago) link
I mean that sounds like a bit of an arsehole? But he talks about feeling like he has something missing, that's kind of more the vibe.
― Seany's too Dyche to mention (jim in vancouver), Sunday, 27 October 2019 07:26 (four years ago) link
he’s mentioned about wondering whether he’s on the autism spectrum before iirc
― non-euclidean lenin (bizarro gazzara), Sunday, 27 October 2019 07:33 (four years ago) link
He's certainly not an arsehole ime, though I knew when he had nothing - well, not much anyway. Not a saint either and not as out there as he likes to portray, he functioned pretty well

He's very intelligent and talented and I'm trying not to do the "There's a lot of funny people in Glasgow" bit, but he is a very Glasgow/ West of Scotland kind of guy.
― Michael Oliver of Penge Wins £5 (Tom D.), Sunday, 27 October 2019 09:50 (four years ago) link
was gonna say, this
how his mother never told him that she loved him or cuddled him or anything (and obviously same with his da) and he is completely disinterested and unmoved when she suddenly gets ill and dies when hes in his late teens. He also just generally has difficulties forming relationships with people and is a fairly, to his own admission, bad father
is very typical West of Scotland stuff
