Brad Williams: Fun Size (Friday, May 8, 10/9c, Showtime)

Comedian Brad Williams wants you to know three things. First, he’s not Jackass‘s Wee Man. Second, he’s the world’s fourth most famous little person after Peter Dinklage (who’s untouchable), Warwick Davis (who’s unforgettable), and Wee Man (whom we’ve already covered). Third, he believes everyone loves little people. Little people, Williams says, make everybody laugh and smile. Ergo, a little person like him doing 60 minutes of standup comedy should be the funniest thing you’ve seen all year. And it very well might be. Unless you take life too seriously, hate sex jokes, and are offended that he refers to himself as a midget. In that case, plug your ears and pretend he’s an Oompa Loompa, if that makes you more comfortable, you &%#@.
