Biography of Brian Limond

Brian Limond, also known as Limmy, is a Scottish comedian, actor, and web developer. He gained popularity through his website and blog. In late 2006, his daily podcast 'Limmy's World of Glasgow' caught the attention of leading British media outlets. In early 2010, Brian achieved success with his sketch show 'Limmy's Show'. However, he faced criticism from his readers after making a 'joke about assassination' on Twitter on the eve of Donald Trump's inauguration.

Born on October 20, 1974, in Glasgow, Scotland, Brian Limond grew up in the Carnwadric area before moving to Priesthill. After completing his secondary education, Brian studied printing, electronic publishing, and multimedia technologies. He then used a government grant to support himself while searching for employment. Unfortunately, his mother passed away in 1995.

In 2006, Limond was ranked 14th on the Scottish cultural magazine 'The List's' 'Hot 100' list, which recognized individuals who had the greatest influence on Scottish cultural life that year. In March 2007, Brian participated in two sold-out performances at the International Comedy Festival in Glasgow.

In 2007, Limond portrayed a character named Zack Eastwood in the video game shows 'Consolevania' and 'Videogaiden'. These projects featured a mix of video games, comedic sketches, game reviews, and unique visual effects. In June 2009, the BBC approved the production of six episodes of the sketch show 'Limmy's Show', which premiered on BBC Scotland in January 2010. A second season was later filmed and premiered in January 2011.

Brian Limond appeared as a window cleaner with a distinct Glasgow accent in the episode 'The Final Countdown' of the British sitcom 'The IT Crowd' on July 7, 2010. In 2014, he regularly appeared in the second season of Charlie Brooker's satirical news show 'Weekly Wipe'. Additionally, Brian expanded his popularity through his video chats, where he interacted with fans and shared his music.

Limond wrote his first book, 'Daft Wee Stories', which was published by Random House on July 30, 2015. To promote his work, the author embarked on a book tour across the United Kingdom, visiting cities such as Glasgow, Aberdeen, Newcastle, Manchester, and London. Three of Limond's stories were printed in 'The Scotsman' newspaper.

In November 2016, Brian announced his plans to release a sequel to his anthology, 'That's Your Lot', in early 2017 and planned another book tour. In January 2016, he performed four nights at the Clyde Auditorium in Glasgow, adapting material from his TV show 'Limmy Live!'

It is no secret that Limmy has struggled with mental health issues, including thoughts of suicide, depression, and a complicated relationship with alcohol. He often discusses these topics on social media and in interviews. Currently, Brian has completely abstained from alcohol.

Since 2000, Limond has been in a relationship with Lynn McGowan, and they have a son who was born on August 30, 2010.

On January 19, 2016, the day before Donald Trump's inauguration, Limmy posted a tweet stating, 'Looking forward to Trump's assassi... inauguration.' The tweet received nearly 2100 retweets but received unfavorable responses from Limmy's American followers. Some called him mentally ill, while others reminded him that such statements toward the president are criminal offenses.

Trump supporters filed complaints with various authorities and called on the president to join the conversation. When suggestions to imprison the comedian for joking about the president's assassination arose, the British public reminded everyone that US laws do not hold any jurisdiction within the United Kingdom.

Some Americans proposed extraditing Limmy to the United States and then sending him to Guantanamo prison. One message read, 'Even if he were the Queen of England, I wouldn't care. He's insane!'

Responding sarcastically to the ongoing discussion, Brian published a new tweet with the caption, 'Does this suit make me look fat?'
