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.
D,ya want this mushroom?
She turned the weans against us!

Need I say more. Genius.

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.

Very well thought out and you have to wonder how he came up with some of the content. The angle he takes in the sketches is top notch. sometimes you won't laugh but it's very entertaining, EXCELLENT, up there with partridge and peep show.
