Limmy's Homemade Show takes DIY comedy to a new level. A cast of one, Limmy finds himself playing multiple parts in his sketches, all the while mounting the camera on a tripod to capture his unique comedy musings. Mixing sketch, song, rant, animation and visual effects, Limmy continues to comment on contemporary life in his own anarchic style.
Brian 'Limmy' Limond is one of the most distinctive comic voices to come out of Scotland. What started as an internet sensation became talked about comedy TV as Limmy burst on to the BBC with three hit series of Limmy’s Show for BBC Scotland. In 2018 Limmy returned to the BBC with more of his irreverence… but this time stripped of all the bells and whistles. Limmy took hold of his HD camera and wrote, directed, edited and starred in a pilot of his Homemade Show that’s now been picked up for series by BBC Two and BBC Scotland.
Limmy, who has just finished a run at the Fringe in Edinburgh, says: "I've been asked at my shows and on my streams if I've got any telly stuff coming up. I've had to lie through my teeth and say that I don't know, so I'm delighted to finally become an honest man. 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."
Limmy’s Homemade Show is a three-part series that will shoot this autumn and premiere on BBC Scotland in the new year with the BBC Two transmission following shortly after.
The show will be Executive Produced by Gavin Smith for BBC Scotland and Gregor Sharp for BBC Two.
