Brian "Limmy" Limond (born 20 October 1974) is a Scottish comedian, actor, and web developer. He first became known for his website and blog. In late 2006, his daily podcast Limmy's World of Glasgow received interest from the mainstream British media. In early 2010, Limond achieved success with his BBC sketch show series Limmy's Show. He is also a prolific user of the social networking applications Twitter, YouTube and Vine.
Limond grew up in Carnwadric before moving to Priesthill. After school, he studied printing, electronic publishing, and multimedia technology before taking Jobseeker's Allowance. His mother died in 1995.
Scottish culture magazine The List listed Limond at number 14 in their Hot 100 list of 2006, which celebrated the people who made the biggest impact on cultural life in Scotland over that year. In March 2007, Limond took to the stage for two sold out appearances at the Glasgow International Comedy Festival.
In 2007, he played a character called Zack Eastwood in Consolevania and Videogaiden. In June 2009, the BBC commissioned a six-episode series of Limmy's Show, a sketch show which premiered on BBC Scotland in January 2010. The BBC commissioned a second series of Limmy's Show, which premiered on BBC Scotland in February 2011. Limmy wrote a pilot for a sitcom based around Falconhoof, but the show was turned down by BBC Scotland. On 7 July 2010, he appeared as a window cleaner with an unintelligible Glaswegian accent in the IT Crowd episode "The Final Countdown".
