Chubby Brown shows his support for 'offensive' Gervais

Ricky Gervais revels in being offensive… and now he has found a new fan for his uncompromising attitude – Roy Chubby Brown.

The 74-year-old called Gervais a ‘comedy genius’ after watching the trailer for the younger comic’s new Netflix series After Life.

Gervais had raised hackles in the clip, because his nihilistic character Tony calls a schoolboy a ‘tubby little ginger cunt’.

But although some viewers took umbrage, Chubby, tweeted: ‘Thank God for this comedy genius who still has the balls to be offensive.

‘Fook off snowflakes and stop looking for things to be offended by.’
