In his early thirties and working in a menial position at a High Street bank, John Bore is massively overweight and plagued by prostatitis. Haunted by the nickname 'Boring John' since school, his mundane existence comes to a head on one 'Particularly Shit Day' when he loses his job, is evicted from his home and is told by his stepmother, from her death bed, that his father had always been ashamed of him and indeed coined the aforementioned nickname. Angry, frustrated and desperate John retrieves from his meagre, evicted belongings a list he had written at the age of ten, a list of things he wanted to achieve in his life. There and then John sets out to achieve these goals, those of an imaginative, yet naïve, ten-year-old boy. 'Boring John' is the ultimate underdog. Against all odds and with a great deal of determination, a heap of luck and the support of a plethora of interesting and surreal characters that he meets along the way, he achieves the impossible, again and again and again. 'Boring John' is a thrilling, surprising and spookily believable rollercoaster that will appeal to all.
