Who'd have thought a potty-mouthed Dublin mammy with a cream cardigan & elasticated tan tights could storm British TV screens & leave a nation helpless with laughter? Brendan O' Carroll performs to tens of thousands of people a night in packed-out stadiums across the country. In the last four years Mrs Brown's Boys has become a number 1 ratings success & he's even making a movie. But Brendan has had to battle hard for success. The youngest of eleven children, his mother was Maureen O' Carroll, a former nun who went on to become the first woman to be elected to the Irish parliament. Brendan adored his strong, widowed mother
- & she later became the inspiration for his indomitable character Agnes Brown. However, the family endured poverty reminiscent of Angela's Ashes & Brendan saw no option but to leave school at 12 to work. He married young & for decades struggled to make ends meet. Eventually, bankrupt & desperate, Brendan went to see a fortune teller who told him she could see his future achieving worldwide success as a comedian & actor. At first Brendan laughed at the notion, but then he thought of how much his friends loved his gags, & decided to give it a go... This is the magical story of how a loveable Irishman with a wig & a wit as caustic as battery acid surprised everyone
- most of all himself
- by becoming one of the best-loved comedians in the world. It is a story of hardship, heartbreak, & talent & will remind readers afresh that sometimes the facts can be even more extraordinary than the fiction.
