Season 1 • Episode 3
LatestMick goes full throttle at Tommy’s house party as he tries to forget about his testicle. But things start to go wrong when he attempts to lose his virginity.
Based on the award-winning stage play, "My Left Nut" is a three-part coming of age comedy drama about friendship, family, grief and testicles. The series follows school-boy Mick and his journey after discovering a swelling on his testicle. He can't tell his dad; he died seven years ago. He can't tell his mum Patricia; she's got a million other things on her plate. He can't tell his schoolmates; there's an upside to rumours about the bulge in your trousers… And it’s not like it’s going to complicate things between Mick and his first girlfriend anyway, right?
Acting
Nathan Quinn O'Rawe's panic is uncomfortably real.
Writing
Stage origins mean every line lands like a gut punch.
Production
Belfast becomes a character—grey, specific, alive.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Created by Belfast-based theatre company Brassneck, the show captures working-class Northern Irish humor where trauma and banter coexist.
The title's deliberate echo of My Left Foot (1989) is no accident—both are about disabled/misbehaving bodies as metaphors for trapped potential.
