If you’ve ever wished you could share a Chinese takeaway with viral sensation Big John Fisher and his family, the brand-new docu-series Big John’s Bosh! Family is offering access so unprecedented, you’ll feel like you’re practically eating chicken balls sitting on Big John’s lap.
After rising to TikTok infamy for his extreme takeaway orders, meme-able catchphrases, unfiltered opinions, and Big Bosh Energy, Big John Fisher – aka “The Boshfather” – is now a beloved British cultural icon, with a literal self-proclaimed army of followers.
“If you’d told me a few years ago that our daft videos and family chaos would lead to our own Paramount+ series, I’d never have believed you,” Big John said about the upcoming show. “We can’t wait to let people into the loud, funny, and real-life madness of the Fisher household.”
