Tim Renkow

Liven up lockdown with some much-needed laughs. Stand-up legends including Jo Brand, Nabil Abdulrashid and Sara Pascoe introduce the best new comedy talent.

Jerk follows the life of acclaimed stand up Tim Renkow, who plays a heightened version of himself; an American art school dropout who needs to get a visa to stay in the UK. The only problem is that Tim has cerebral palsy. This means that people judge him… all the time. Although usually they judge him wrongly, because what they don’t realise is that inside that severely disabled, vulnerable body is a bit of an asshole.

Romesh Ranganathan meets some of the UK’s most loved comedians, including Jack Dee, Sharon Horgan, Russell Howard, Jayde Adams, Humza Arshad and Tim Renkow. In these one-to-one, frank and funny conversations, they discuss their earliest memories in their comedy careers - from show flops to patronising fans and facing their fears - through an engaging, empathetic and relatable pub chat.
