Jerk

2019–2023 · 3 seasons

A cringe-inducing, laugh-out-loud character comedy where the protagonist's shamelessness keeps you squirming and grinning.

Created by
Tim Renkow
Genres
Comedy
Starring
Tim Renkow, Sharon Rooney, Rob J Madin
Overview
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.
