Serielizados Fest premieres in Spain \u2018Big Boys\u2019, a funny autobiographical sitcom by comedian Jack Rooke.<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The shy and lovable\u00a0Jack<\/strong>\u00a0(Dylan Llewellyn),\u00a0hero and protagonist<\/strong>\u00a0of this story, is a 19-year-old boy raised in Watford, England.<\/p>\n

Jack has spent the last year cooped up at home with his mother, grieving\u00a0the death of his father<\/strong>, but the time has come for him to take charge of his life, leave his mother\u2019s nest and find his place in college (and in life). It is there that he meets\u00a0Danny<\/strong>\u00a0(Jonathan Pointing), his roommate, an older student with whom he will develop an unlikely, curious and tender friendship.<\/p>\n

Big Boys<\/em>\u00a0is a hilarious comedy, framed within the broad\u00a0coming-of-age<\/strong>\u00a0concept, about two boys who \u00a0although they are at seemingly opposite ends of the \u201cmasculinity spectrum<\/strong>\u201c, end up becoming best friends during the first week of classes at\u00a0Brent University<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

ig Boys<\/em>\u00a0is a fun and fresh story of personal exploration, where Jack must figure out what he really wants in life, even if it means \u2018abandoning\u2019 his beloved mother\u00a0Peggy<\/strong>, who has convinced him to accept a scholarship to college so he can do something with his life and not stay at home \u201cmasturbating and knitting blankets to sell on Etsy<\/strong>\u201c<\/p>\n

Danny, the \u2018Sancho Panza\u2019<\/strong>\u00a0of this story, is a loud and proud 25-year-old kid from a decaying seaside town. He, being a few years older than all the other freshmen, will try to (re)live his lost adolescence while facing the demons of his own\u00a0mental health<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

And that\u2019s how we follow their first year at Brent University as they explore, experiment and try to\u00a0discover themselves<\/strong>, helping each other along the way.<\/p>\n

Straddling the line between\u00a0fiction and autobiography<\/strong>,\u00a0Big Boys<\/em>\u00a0is narrated by comedian and series creator\u00a0Jack Rooke<\/strong>. He drew on his award-winning\u00a0stand-up shows (<\/strong>Happy Hour\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Love Letters<\/em>) and his own experiences in writing the series.<\/p>\n
