From virtual unknown to snapping at the virtual heels of Ricky Gervais.

After his debut live show at the Magners Glasgow International Comedy Festival sold out in under an hour-a festival record-, Limmy is once again stepping out from behind the webcam to make his Edinburgh Fringe debut.

Glasgow's Brian Limond (aka Limmy) first tasted internet fame in 2002 when his swearing xylophone caused a flurry of excitement

In 2006, he wrote, produced and performed the dark character monologues that peopled cult podcast Limmy's World of Glasgow. Within weeks, primary school power broker Wee Gary, recovering heroin addict Jacqueline McCafferty and English Glasgow-ophile Phil were rolling in celebrity plaudits, rave reviews and word-of-mouth fandom.

As the biggest internet comedy discovery in recent years makes the transition from on-line to on-stage, make sure you catch him in the flesh.
