Avis à la une
A lot of the scetches seem to be written as streams of consciousness, one thing leads to another and to another and then something else pops in and so on. For people who are only familiar with generic TV plotting and pacing this is probably off-putting and nonsensical, but at times it can capture real human thoughts and feelings on a scale rarely ever seen on television.
The overarching point of the show seems to be to question everything and never take anything for granted, which can be unnerving if you are trying to watch some light comedy to turn your brain off. If that's the case then this really isn't the show for you, in fact it actively aggitates those who would watch it for such a reason.
Because the show tries to break barriers and challenge it can sometimes miss a mark or not completely convey what it was going for, at least not on a universal level, and its definitely not for everyone, but what it is is a show that actually tries. It's not mindless entertainment and it's not trying to cater to all markets, most of the time it comes off as one man's attempt to piece together and dissect his own sanity, and I think that is worthy of its own show, at least once in a while.

A recent rewatch (*cough* youtube), Limmy's show is a 2009 surreal sketch comedy from Scottish comedian Brian Limond. Created for a quite low budget almost by himself, Limmy's Show has become quite the cult classic in recent years, and he's even used his success from the show to start twitch streaming where he now has >350K followers. Limmy's Show is funny and original, and is so fast paced (and accented) that you'll need to rewatch it a few times anyway just to catch everything. A great laugh, would recommend.
The only people that seem to have time to review anything on here unfortunately as usual have nothing positive to say about anything.
To be fair this show isn't for everyone but if you're lucky enough to have a sense of humour of some description and no chip on your shoulder then you might well enjoy Limmy's show.
The humour is very "West of Scotland" - so a lot of the laughs are maybe going to pass you by if your not local, but maybe not. The show is well observed and extremely funny in places and works on different levels. Limmy definitely has something to say about the world - and that's to be encouraged.
Overall its well worth a watch although it is a bit hit and miss - I'd say about 30% is genuinely hilarious, 60% generally funny with about 10% off the sketches not doing it. I'd say that it compares well with other comedy shows out there just now and if you're going to slate something as being a 1 or a 2 out of 10 then it'd be interesting to see what you would recommend in its place.
Hope he gets a 3rd season.

This show is pure class!
Not only are most of the characters very funny but Limmy also has the ability to look at the world in a particular manner... sometimes after a sketch i think flip me he's right there, i never thought of that before... other times i think i'm glad someone else has picked up on that as well.
You well know after the first 10 mins of the pilot whether or not you will like this show..
i would say give this a chance and you could well be glad that you did.
nice one Limmy
