Hero worship: Meet Supervet Noel FItzpatrick ahead of his one-man show in the 3Arena

Noel Fitzpatrick takes to the stage at the 3Arena tonight for his one-man show. Fresh from the audience of his debut UK show, Suzanne Harrington is a newly converted Supervet super-fan

HULL, Yorkshire, on a dark Thursday evening, and the streets are empty. That’s because everyone and their mother is packed into the local arena — capacity 3,500 — to see the opening night of Supervet Noel Fitzpatrick’s road show, ‘Welcome To My World’. Two hours later, the professor, who likes to call himself a ‘leprechaun’, gets a standing ovation, and there’s not a dry eye from all the hopeless dog lovers in the house. #MeToo.
