This disabled comedian is a Jerk
American comedian Tim Renkow reveals all about his new TV series - Jerk.
After years on the circuit, American comedian Tim Renkow has just released his first TV series - Jerk.
The 大象传媒 Three show follows a "heightened" version of Renkow, who has cerebral palsy. TV Tim is "too lazy" to sort out his own visa, so instead he plays on and uses his disability to mess with people and take advantage of every situation.
Tim reveals to 大象传媒 Ouch how much truth was behind the sitcom, how he got The Soprano's actress Lorraine Bracco to play his mother and what it was like to have a fist-fight with fellow comedian and Britain's Got Talent winner, Lost Voice Guy, who also has cerebral palsy.
Bashir Aziz, who has vitiligo, and Rachel Reynolds who has thousands of tumours on her body, talk about living with visible differences and what it was like to live together for 10 days in new Channel Five show, The House of Extraordinary People.
Presented by Simon Minty and Kate Monaghan.
