Funboys cast in full including comedy star 'blown away' by show

The cast of new BBC comedy features rising stars and an award-winning comedy actor who praised the show's pilot.

Funboys sees friends Callum (Ryan Dylan), Jordan (Rian Lennon) and Lorcan (Lee R James) attempt to navigate through the hardships of life in a small town in Northern Ireland.
