Life's Too Short Special - Cheggers, Barry & Les Scenes. R.I.P Cheggers.

All of the good scenes from the Life's Too Short Easter Special

[@novakingood3788]

Cheggers went up hugely in my estimation when I heard a story about him at a Radio One roadshow. As he was working the crowd, some bloke said, "Why are you such a wanker?" and Cheggers immediately came back with, "I get paid for it, what's your excuse."

This show was not marketed, properly. All I remember it as being described as a dwarf and Ricky Gervais. Thought it was just nonsense and probably cruel. Had no idea that Warwick was such a sympathetic character, and that it had so much humanity. Looking at Gervais in another light, and trying to watch more of this show. Gervais needs better representation!
