synopsis

killing bono is an irish music-based comedy from the writers of the commitments.

neil, a punk schoolboy in dublin in the 1970s, wants to be famous. more than famous, he’s certain his destiny is to be a rock god. neil and his brother ivan have it all worked out: the albums, the stadium concerts, the quest for world peace.

there’s only one thing they hadn’t counted on. the boy sitting on the other side of the classroom has plans of his own. and his name is bono.
