Więcej o książce

A hysterical, shocking, and incredibly intimate memoir from one of today's most unique comedians. Brian Limond, known as Limmy, shares his journey through mental health struggles, including suicidal thoughts and anxiety, which he often discusses in tweets and interviews. Initially hesitant about writing a book solely on mental health, he opted for a broader autobiography, allowing these themes to emerge naturally. He reflects on a tumultuous upbringing marked by self-harm, substance abuse, and criminal behavior, feeling like a misfit destined for failure. Yet, he also recounts the triumph of creating and directing his own sketch show. As a father and an adult, he grapples with the lingering feelings of that "mad freak" from his past and the temptation to abandon it all for a laugh. The memoir dives into various personal challenges, including struggles with alcoholism and sexual issues, providing a raw and honest look at his life. This candid exploration of his experiences offers insight into the complexities of mental health, creativity, and the pursuit of happiness.
