Surprisingly down to earth, and very funny : my autobiography
The hysterical, shocking and incredibly intimate memoir from one of the most original and unique comedians alive today. From growing up in a run-down Glaswegian council estate to finding a certain renown as the writer, director, editor and star of his own multi-award-winning sketch show, nothing about Limmy's life has been conventional. From an early age, he always felt like the odd one out, as if he'd missed a crucial lesson in life that everyone else had attended. And that feeling of oddness has never left him. He's always stumbled down his own, peculiar path. From early run-ins with the police as a teenager, running away from a helicopter, to a drink addiction that saw him nearly piss away his life and career, Limmy has struggled with demons, good and bad, for as long as he can remember. As much as he'd love to kill them off, they are also the fuel for his own, very particular sense of humour which has made him one of the most respected and mercurial comic talents alive today. This is no run-of-the-mill comedian's memoir.

She had to make the trek. \"It's mind-blowing the connections that you make,\" said Cat Eastman, program coordinator for the hospital at the Whitney Laboratory for Marine Bioscience at Marineland, raising her hands to her head and quickly pushing them out toward the sky. \"... and all via this one vehicle -- the sea turtle.\" \"Most importantly,\" said Eastman. \"We're helping to teach ocean awareness. So what inspires the community to be stewards of the environment is what happens at a place like this.\"
