Funboys - BBC Three 4 x 30'mins

Me and my crew had plenty of laughs had on this set filming over the summer of 2024!

BBC Comedy and BBC Northern Ireland have co-commissioned a 4 x 30” series of Funboys following its successful launch as a comedy short film in 2023. Made by Mayhay Studios, Funboys is a comedy series about three emotionally-unassembled young men in small-town Northern Ireland.

Funboys sees friends Callum (Ryan Dylan), Jordan (Rian Lennon) and Lorcan (Lee Dobbin) as they attempt to navigate through the hardships of life. Life is never easy for this trio of sad worms: from first girlfriends to dead pet pigs, the lads are put through the psychological ringer. But will their shared love of innocent fun and wholesome mucking about land them in hot water?

Funboys, filmed and set in Northern Ireland, with support from Northern Ireland Screen takes a fly-on-the-wall approach, prioritising authentic, naturalistic comedy whilst exploring modern themes of male vulnerability, religious dogma and handjobs.
