Michael Patrick

Michael Patrick was born and raised in Belfast. In primary 6, he wrote a story of the nativity from the donkey’s perspective, and his teacher told his mother that he was going to be a writer. He then went off to study Physics at Cambridge University.

Michael worked as an actor across the UK and Ireland. My Left Nut is the (mostly) true story of a period in his teenage years. Some names have been changed to protect the identities of his friends, but most of the genuinely ridiculous events are factual.

As an actor he worked with the Lyric Theatre Belfast, The Abbey Theatre Dublin, Northern Ireland Opera and The Royal Shakespeare Company. He also appeared on Game of Thrones, Krypton, Death and Nightingales and Soft Border Patrol.
