Sneakerhead is a brand new comedy starring Hugo Chegwin and rapper Big Zuu in his first acting role, and RadioTimes.com<\/a> can exclusively reveal the first look.<\/p>\n

The series is coming to Dave and UKTV Play this July, and focuses on a group of employees at a sportswear store on the British high street.<\/p>\n

Chegwin, best known for People Just Do Nothing, leads the cast as Russell, the conflict-averse manager of discount sportswear store Sports Depot in Peterborough.<\/p>

Also starring is Alexa Davies as Russell\u2019s girlfriend Clare, who he relies on to keep his spirits up\u2026 when she\u2019s not flirting with the local tattoo parlour owner, that is.<\/p>\n
