About this show
Can these slumdogs be good boys? Sorabh Dhir grew up in a typical Indian household, where education was paramount and dogs were to be feared. Growing up in Essex, Sorabh always felt everyone around him decided who he was before he did. Wondering whether he is British or Indian enough? Should he be a lawyer or a tech bro? Who should he marry? What if he abandons all of that for comedy and gets a dog called Rocket? Good Boy is a show about finding success through mistakes. With special guest appearances from Rocket!
