In the new six-part series on RTÉ One, comedian Brendan O’Carroll stars as Agnes Brown, a hilarious, foul-mouthed Dublin matriarch who interferes in the lives of her children and friends. The theatre show, Mrs Brown’s Boys, has been a sell-out success for a number of years in Ireland and the UK.
Brendan O’Carroll writes the scripts and stars. The cast of the television show features the regular cast of Mrs Brown’s Boys on stage, and includes his 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 show has seen phenomenal viewing figures throughout the six episodes, regularly beating those of RTE rival big hitter, The Late Late Show – the last show in the series saw a whopping 711,000 individuals in multi channel homes tune in to watch the antics in the Brown household.
