The show is filmed with a fly-on-the-wall and naturalistic approach, looking at themes such as "male vulnerability, religious dogma and handjobs".
"Rian, Ryan and Lee are three of the funniest, most inventive people I've worked with and I really hope this show brings as much happiness to others as it has to me," said executive producer and story writer Simon Mayhew-Archer.
"The Funboys pilot blew me away," Demetriou added. "Their dedication to making something genuinely funny and specific is deeply exciting and very rare. Getting to see it in person on set was a career highlight for me."
Funboys will premiere on BBC Northern Ireland, BBC Three, BBC One and BBC iPlayer in February.
