Scottish comedian Limmy is writing a mix of stories to be published in a book next year.
Brian Limond, famous for writing, directing and starring in BBC Scotland's Limmy's Show, is penning his first book as a series of stories and anecdotes.
Daft Wee Stories will feature short stories next to longer ones, some written as thoughts and musings and some with illustrations.
He said: "I'm really enjoying writing these stories. It's like writing sketches for Limmy's Show, only I don't need to worry about if it can be filmed or not. If I want an explosion, I can simply type the word 'explosion', and it happens."
Jack Fogg, editorial director at publisher Century, said: "Limmy has one of the most original, thoughtful and brilliant comic minds I've encountered. He can flip from side-splittingly funny to genuinely profound in the space of a paragraph.
"I'm sure that with Daft Wee Stories, we're seeing the start of what will become a very exciting and unique writing career."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
