Jon Pointing

The hilarious and heartfelt Big Boys follows the unlikely friendship of the sensitive and newly-out Jack, and boisterous lad’s lad Danny, played by Dylan Llewellyn and Jon Pointing.

It’s a powerful, underrepresented, mutually-supportive friendship. So far Danny has helped Jack come out of his shell, come to terms with his grief for his late father, and embrace his newfound sexuality. In turn Jack has held Danny’s hand through his depression, and, with his mum Peggy (Camille Coduri), welcomed him to the family he never had. 

Big Boys focuses on Jack, played by Dylan Llewellyn (Derry Girls), who, in series one, began his university degree recovering from the death of his father and coming to terms with his sexuality. When he was thrown together with the slightly mature student Danny, played by Jon Pointing (Plebs), the two began an unlikely friendship.

The first series followed the unlikely friendship between Jack, a grieving closeted fresher, and Danny, a quintessential lad silently struggling with mental health issues, as they navigated their first year at Brent University.  

The series stars Dylan Llewelyn as Jack, Jon Pointing as Danny, Camille Coduri as Jack’s mum Peggy, Izuka Hoyle and Olisa Odele as the boys’ friends Corinne and Yemi, and Katie Wix as the perennial student's union officer Jules.
