Noel Fitzpatrick, the renowned veterinary surgeon and TV personality is back with his “An Evening with” tour. Coming to Glasgow’s SEC Armadillo on 16th November 2022.

Born a farmer’s son in Ballyfin, Ireland, Noel Fitzpatrick grew up surrounded by animals. He studied veterinary medicine at University College Dublin and qualified to be surgeon in 1990. In 2008, after completing his Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons certificate, he opened the Fitzpatrick Referrals practice in Surrey. He has since built it into one of the largest veterinary referral centres in the UK.

Over the years, Fitzpatrick has received an honorary doctorate for his contribution to medical science from the University of Surrey. Where he is also one of the founding partners of orthopaedics at its School of Veterinary Medicine. Plus, he has done pioneering work in making bionic limbs for injured pets, along with developing other surgical techniques.

While building his veterinary reputation in the UK, Fitzpatrick also launched a career as an actor. In the early ’00s, he landed TV roles in Heartbeat, London’s Burning, Casualty and The Bill. He appeared in the low-budget horror film The Devil’s Tattoo in 2003. A year later snagged the lead in the movie Live For The Moment. Fitzpatrick also starred as Inspector Beckett in the 2008 film Framed.

TV Shows

In 2010, he appeared in the BBC series The Bionic Vet. Since 2014, Fitzpatrick has starred in Channel 4’s The Supervet. This follows him and his team while they help some of the hardest-to-cure pets from around the country with cutting-edge treatments.

In 2018, Fitzpatrick became the first veterinary surgeon to embark on a UK arena tour. Called Noel Fitzpatrick, The Supervet: Welcome To My World, he performed 22 dates all across the country. That year Fitzpatrick also wrote his first book, Listening To The Animals: Becoming The Supervet. It was an instant bestseller. His second book, How Animals Saved My Life, arrived in 2020. It examines how his relationship with animals helped him to be a better version of himself.

Noel Fitzpatrick returns to the stage this autumn with a brand-new show which will delight animal lovers of all ages. As well as anyone who feels like they need some love, hope and healing in their lives. 

Following his hugely popular tour in 2018, An Evening with Noel Fitzpatrick will give audiences a unique opportunity to gain an intimate insight into Noel’s extraordinary bionic world and the animals who have inspired him along the way. 

Noel will share a rollercoaster ride of successes and failures. Demonstrating why love really is all that matters. As well as how our animal friends can teach us very important life lessons, which can make us better people.

There will be some unexpected surprises and thoughts about the nature of stress and survival against the odds. Not to mention discussing the future of humans and animals on our planet. It will truly give you cause to stop and think about your own future too. 

Noel continues to strive toward a more loving and understanding society for humans and animals alike. In a world that needs healing now more than ever.
