 My Left Nut is back! The true story of a Belfast boy growing up with no father to guide him through, and a giant ball to weigh him down. After selling out its run at the Dublin Fringe Festival, where it was nominated for The Bewley’s Little Gem Award for the best show under one hour, this hilarious and heartwarming one-man show is back at Bewley’s Café Theatre in Dublin before touring all around the country.
Set in Belfast in the late early 2000s, My Left Nut tells the true story of Michael Patrick who developed hydrocele testis when he was 14, a condition which caused one of his testicles to start swelling. Too embarrassed to tell his mother, he let the condition worsen for three years until he couldn’t ignore it anymore. By this stage it was bigger than a can of coke and his friends could see the outline of it through his trousers.

Where: The Belltable Theatre, O’Connell Street.
When: April, Thursday 19th & Friday 20th @8 pm
Tickets: €17/€15/€13 For sale Here or ring 061 953400

The true story of a Belfast boy growing up with no father to guide him through, and a giant ball to weigh him down.

Set in Belfast in the early 2000s, My Left Nut tells the true story of Michael Patrick who developed hydrocele testis when he was 14, a condition which caused one of his testicles to start swelling. Too embarrassed to tell his mother, he let the condition worsen for three years until he couldn’t ignore it any more. By this stage it was bigger than a can of coke and his friends could see the outline of it through his trousers.
 
The show is overflowing with awkward teenage comedy and naughties nostalgia, but has a real heart underneath. Michael’s father died when he was very young and the play shows how Michael slowly comes to terms with his father’s death as he deals with his own illness. It touches on the inability of men to talk about their problems, and on the difficulties single mothers can have in raising young boys.
In sharing his tale, Michael also hopes to encourage men to seek help for their problems and remove stigma from such issues.
