There is a show now being broadcast on HBO called Life's Too Short starring Warwick Davis. You may or may not know that name but he has starred in a lot of movies. Most of them were in costume though as he is a dwarf. Among his credits include Return of the Jedi, The Harry Potter films, Leprechaun series, and Willow. The latter is the only movie of note that his face was fully visible until this new show entitled Life's Too Short.
The show is made by Ricky Gervais and Steve Merchant who have made a ton of funny shit lately. Seriously don't be lazy and just use wikipedia and IMDB and research them yourselves if you don't believe me. Hell Ricky has hosted every awards show in the past year.
Life's Too Short is done in a mockumentary style very similar to Curb Your Enthusiasm. Warwick Davis plays a caricature of himself and does it quite well. I love when a famous person has no problem taking the piss with them self. Nothing worse than when some arrogant prick takes themselves far too seriously.
The show has a lot of cameos by famous people and most of them are comedy gold. Liam Neeson in particular is in the first episode and his attempt at some improv comedy might just be the funniest thing I have ever seen. I would highly recommend people to check the series out.
By the way, while episode one is only just now being broadcast on HBO the series was actually broadcast last year on the BBC. That means if you are handy with with finding shows to download on the internet it can easily be found in its entirety and downloaded along with a very funny making of show.
