Meet Mrs. Brown
Ìý
You may have seen trailers for Mrs. Brown's Boys in between our comedy shows on TV.Ìý Wondering who the hell she is? Be baffled no more.
Despite her army of passionate fans, Mrs. Brown is the UK’s best-kept comedy secret.
Brendan O’Carroll has only ever committed to strictly limited seasons in live venues in Eire, Scotland, and the North of England. And he's always refused TV. Ìý
Until now.

Brendan will be joined on screen by a unique cast: his family.
They've all trod the boards together for years, touring and honing the world of Mrs Brown before bringing it to your television screens. Brendan's real-life wife Jennifer Gibney as Cathy, his daughter Fiona O'Carroll as Maria, his son Danny O'Carroll as Buster, and his sister Eilish O’Carroll as Winnie McGoogan.
The theatre show, Mrs. Brown’s Boys, has been a sell-out success for a number of years in Eire and the UK, and this new six part series is jam-packed with all the laughs, surprises and drama fans can expect from the live shows.
Mrs. Brown's Boys begins on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ One in February.

If people take offence at swear words or its not to their taste then they need not watch. Brendan and his family are hilarious - son Rory is still to come. Thanks ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ for bringing the show to our living room and something we can have a good laugh at. I know the younger members of our family and their friends have been discussing the show on their social web chat site. I hope we get another series.

Without a doubt, this is juvenile comedy that makes me cringe, so unsubtle and demeaning to women, the lead character is vile and attention seeking and so not funny. I am a normal bloke and I find it very offensive, the bikini wax sketch was so sad. Send it back to wence it came.

How would he know ? he's a bloke, and normal !! Every woman I know absolutely loves this show, and all found the "bikini wax" sketch so funny they cried. So please "normal bloke" get off your soapbox and look for your funny bone. Offensive my A**e, you clearly have no sense of humour. Political correctness will die a death, lets hope its a swift one.

If you haven't enjoyed Mrs Browns Boys on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ, then I would recommend that you a) read the fantastic trilogy of stories, written by Brendan O'Carroll; b) watch the sitcom series DVD's...all 7 of them, they are about an hour long each and tell the stories we have seen on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ, just in a slightly different way; and finally, c) wake up and smell the teapot!
Last bit....the muscial ending to the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ shows was amazing! The 'Father Quinn' song was brilliant.
MORE PLEASE!!!!!
