Little John Nee is a writer and theatre-maker whose original works have been a distinctive presence in Irish theatre for more than four decades, developing a prolific repertoire of solo shows and collaborations. His work defies genre and dances between worlds; blending clown, lyrical monologue, original song, and quiet anarchy into something unmistakably his own—rooted in tradition but wildly imaginative.
His acclaimed plays include The Derry Boat (Helen Hayes Award nomination, Washington DC), The Mental, Johnny Patterson the Singing Irish Clown, Sparkplug (Irish Times Theatre Award, Prix Italia Special Mention), Radio Rosario, Tea Dance, Nettle Horse (2024), and Zeitgeist Jukebox (2025) “The Art of Gentle Punk” (2026) His work has toured widely and has been adapted for radio, film and publication, including A Donegal Trilogy (An Grianán Theatre, 2011).
Elected to Aosdána in 2016, he lives and works in the west of Ireland
