Being braver…

‍

Jack Rooke is the comic genius behind the incredible multi award winning sitcom Big Boys.

‍

Jack won his BAFTA for Best Comedy Writer after using his own life experience of losing his Dad to write and narrate Big Boys. Jack was just 15 when his Dad died. The semi-autobiographical show follows Jack leaving his mum to go to University where he navigates making new friends and explores being gay, something he hasn’t told his mum yet.

‍

His work is both hilarious and sad with smart, spit your drink out laughing moments. This conversation is no exception.

‍

Now 30, Jack talks about success in your 20s, what losing a parent so young does to someone, how his grief has changed, why humour is so important to him and in all life situations, rewriting the past, Big Boys being seen as radical, and new tattoos.
