Limmy's Show

that's wild.

although i would say that he's never going to become a worldwide draw due to his accent and he probably wouldn't fancy a big acting career as he's a huge homebody

Both true yeah, but it'd be a big boost to his career either way. He is fansfirst4eva though but man, I'd have moved heaven and earth to do that role, it's the most 'him' tv character probably ever

Haha! It's the way his smile drops at the end but he keeps baring his teeth, all manic. Absolute master of those tiny subtle moments like that

Similarly, at his Manchester show the other night he was talking about his penultimate pill in Ibiza, aged 35, stood in the middle of the dancefloor going YESSS, the other, younger clubbers backing away. Acting out their fears about him lashing out wildly with huge sweeping punches then gripping someone in a headlock leering down on them going ME AND YOU ALL NIGHT SON, ALL FUCKING NIGHT, eyes bulging, same terrifying grimace. Hands down one of the funniest things I've ever seen

I was trying to think what he'd do next. Hopefully more tv like his homemade show or vines, probably for Sky, or maybe ch4. I haven't delved into his twitch much, some of the improv stuff falls flat for me, same with the gaming, doesn't reach the heights of his earlier webcam party shows, but I hope he returns to that in some form. Having said that, apparently he earns decent money just from donations on twitch, like some kind of through the looking glass YouTuber, and he's said he loves doing that more than anything at the moment

His autobiography ends on a weirdly dark note, makes the reader hark back to the uncomfortable implication of the title. Whole book is full of astonishingly candid stories, like how not long before finishing the book he was on the verge of leaving Lynn, looking for a new flat. Brutally honest, but not in the usual way that term is used, in a smaller, more intense way

i don't envisage him doing more tv as it seems he can't get a series on the BBC. sitcom ideas patched by execs without even getting to do a pilot or anything, and then the homemade show commissioned but just a one off, no series commissioned. just can't be commercially successful to the extent of making it worth the BBC's while, which is a crying shame.

he twitch streams a lot. he goes on about how that's what he wants to do from then on quite often. he also occasionally mentions writing, what i assume is another book. think this will be him for a while

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

^^^^^who's this guy

by that i mean to say, long time no see

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.

hello imago!

getting the lbzc back together brick by brick

Lol I am wrong once again

in fairness to me the homemade show pilot thing was broadcast 11 months ago and there's been no word since

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

eckied dad

originated on his webcam as an improv bit, and was in the second season of the show https://www.facebook.com/LimmyDotCom/posts/eckied-da-one-of-the-best-nights-of-my-fucking-life-and-hell-be-appearing-somewh/131497513584692/

if that’s an illuminating reminiscence by Limmy about Eckied Dad, could you post it here?

that link no work? it's just a Facebook update from limmy from the time linking to the original clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTOiXWXeqVo

no worries then! no, it doesn’t work without facebook

Hi Patrick

xp. i don't even have Facebook ;_;

Song For Brexit Day is hilarious

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

ha the "relax" one is so good too

trucking > karaoke

sometimes i think it's an indictment on scotland that our greatest comic mind twitch streams for a living. other times I'm not sure it's a bad thing

is this something that can earn you £££?

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.

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)

Duolingo and Dee Dee's trip to Yoker.

hahaha

That’s really sweet.

if i had the time today i would do a transcription for that thread, maybe tomorrow

"I can't wait to make Limmy's Homemade Show, and I hope everybody likes it as much as I'll enjoy putting it together."

Great news on Limmy's Homemade Show, the first was incredible.

lol

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

read the autobio. he's an odd fish

that image has been the best thing on my feed all week too haha

Xpost if "odd fish" = arsehole, then yes.

lol at one of the top replies on that ‘yoker’ tweet being from thandie newton of all people

limmy has always struck me as being someone whose work i love but i’d probably go out of my way to avoid meeting irl

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).
