Ricky Gervais Teases New Comedy Show, “Life’s Too Short”

 June 23, 2011      Matt      News, Television    

Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant are a proficient comedic duo. It seems every time we turn around, they are pitching, filming, writing or recording something in the UK or here in the states. Now he can add “Working with Willow” to his resume now.

The new series Life’s Too Short will feature Warwick Davis in a faux documentary style show that’s supposed to be a cross between The Office and Extras. It might be a bit redundant to stat that these days since we’re dealing with a well recognized comedic tone at this point.

According to the BBC, the show will be, “a fake documentary telling the story of Warwick Davis and his talent agency, Dwarves for Hire. In the show Warwick uses the agency to steal all the best work for himself. Davis will play an alternate version of himself, who is “desperate, conniving, fame-hungry and self-centered, but always gets his comeuppance.”
