He then branched out into football, politics and pop culture sketches and now has more than 500,000 followers on social media.
Some of the better-known Farmer Michael videos include There’s no alcoholics in Ireland, F*ck the Mayweathers and Beast from the East. His 'Evernton' sketches have made him a cult hero of Everton Football Club.
His videos have featured in a range of online platforms TV shows and have been mentioned by US basketball star turned actor and entertainer Shaquille O'Neal as well as comedian, actor and director Marlon Wayans.
From depression and Donald Trump to gun control and Leo Varadkar, Farmer Michael tackles topical news with a satirical eye and that’s what he’ll be doing in the Town Hall Theatre this Saturday night.
