Born in Glasgow in 1974, Brian Limond grew up in the Carnwadric area of Scotland’s largest city and studied multimedia technology at Glasgow Caledonian University, before embarking on a career in website design.
While working on his day job he found time to release comedy content on a website and blog, later creating a daily podcast called ‘Limmy’s World of Glasgow’ which quickly built a dedicated fanbase. He began to work on his comedy career full-time in 2016.
BBC Scotland commissioned Limmy’s Show in 2010 and it ran for three series and a Christmas special – winning two BAFTA Scotland awards.
Limmy’s Homemade Show followed, with a on-off episode on the BBC in 2018 and a full series in 2020, while his live show sold out Glasgow’s Clyde Auditorium for four straight nights.
He’s also a successful published author, with two books of darky-amusing short stories – Daft Wee Stories and That's Your Lot – and an autobiography Surprisingly Down to Earth, and Very Funny under his belt.
Having taken a step back from the world of comedy, Limmy now has a successful career as a Twitch streamer with nearly half a million followers watching his near-daily streams.
