Summary

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 of 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.

Critic reviews

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." ( The Sun)
"So good they'll make you snot yourself laughing." ( Scotland on Sunday)
"The comedy book of the year." ( Time Out)
"The tales he treats us to are indeed both daft and wee; happily, they're funny, peculiar and original, too." ( Guardian)

Grimly hilarious, hilariously grim

I do worry about Limmy but I’m glad he exists. Must be weird to live inside his head, though. Jesus.

Classic Limmy

Very bloody good. I get the feeling that Limmy doesn’t ever think ‘will people find this funny’, he just writes the stories for himself and it’s either so funny that I make everyone and their dog listen to it twice, or I don’t get the punchline at all and move on. Strongly advise you don’t listen to this on public transport with your earphones on, you might end up like me, crying while trying not to laugh in the back corner or a bus. I’d avoid me at all costs

Great and random

Some really good stuff in here. Some really just don't get there but that's always the case with Limmy, that's what makes him great. Well worth a listen. More like this please.

Was sad when it ended

I love Limmy's ability to take the mundane world and turn it into something shocking. A few his stories have stuck with me for days after finishing this book. Funny, tragic and weird all at the same time, just fantastic,

Limmyesque

No one I’ve come across can write and tell stories like Limmy. Funny, tragic, outrageous - the lot. One day the term ‘limmyesque’ will be in the dictionary to describe something or some event that’s off the wall and kind of hard to categorise.
Limmy has the ability to scratch under the surface of your skin and at the same time make you laugh at things you shouldn’t really be laughing at.
What a joy it is to have Limmy in the world.

Some funny, sad and dark short stories.

awesome narration by the author, great that they are so short and consumable at mainly around 10-15mins each.

Classic Limmy

Hearing these stories narrated by Limmy makes them 100 times better than they already are. The guy is a legend!
