Synopsis

This is Limmy’s second book. It’s a whole load of new, odd, and hilariously grim short stories. Tom is in a soft play with his daughters. He’s bored. He’s so bored he can move things with his mind. A man fills up a mate’s biscuit tin without ever telling him, to see what happens. Maggie’s boyfriend Iain bought a curtain. It keeps attacking them. She wants it out the house. A man is sitting in his wheelie bin at two in the morning, and he wants to tell you why. Kenny’s mate Scott is suicidal and ridden with guilt. Kenny takes him on holiday to Benidorm. It’ll be some laugh. Praise for Daft Wee Stories: ‘The comedy book of the year.’ – Time Out ‘Funny, peculiar and original.’ – Guardian ‘Didn't realise pieces of paper with no pictures on could be so funny. I mean I was cryin’ all day yesterday into this book. Hilarious’ – Someone on Amazon

They’re also......more

I hope I get to introduce some people on this site to Limmy! He's a Glaswegian comedian who's been entertaining me for over a decade now. Here are seriously just a handful of clips I thought of off the top of my head: [URL not allowed] [URL not allowed] http......more

Goodreads review by Brian on April 27, 2020

Ahh, Limmy, he is the boy. I stumbled into his surreal Weedgie world years ago when I started getting into podcasts. His mad characters had me in stitches. The leap to a TV show was, at times, a bit hit or miss but worth the watch. I think what makes Limmy appeal to me so much is that his comedy is st......more

Goodreads review by Kris on November 14, 2017

Very (VERY) disturbing at points, yet very, VERY funny. Limmy's tone is probably not for everyone, but if you like your short stories to take a dark look at the mundanity of modern life, it is a shocking, scathing treat.......more

Quotes

‘Short stories shot through with anxiety, guilt, depression, delusion and jet black humour’ Daily Telegraph Praise for the author: "Daft Wee Stories will sate Limmy's existing fans and proves once again that his wickedly anarchic sensibility moves effortlessly between media." Chortle "Disturbing yet very, very funny, it's a shocking, scathing delight." Sun "So good they'll make you snot yourself laughing." Scotland on Sunday " "The tales he treats us to are indeed both daft and wee; happily, they’re funny, peculiar and original, too." (Guardian)
