As you pass along a country road in your motor car or on an omnibus have you ever felt drawn to stop and spend time in an odd corner of a field, have you ever felt a hankering to linger in the shade of old trees? In these strange dark days, have your lungs longed to laugh in rebellion. If so, meet me here, I’ll bring you to a place where oddness lights the way, where love like rain washes the pain from your bones.

Little John Nee’s work defies genre and dances between worlds. For over four decades, he has created theatre stories that blend clown, lyrical monologue, original song, and quiet anarchy into something unmistakably his own. Rooted in tradition but wildly imaginative, his performances carry the spirit of vaudeville, punk, folk theatre and magical realism – often in the same show. In 2016, he was elected to Aosdána, honouring artists whose work has made an outstanding contribution to the creative arts in Ireland.
