The Mother of Comedy



The show of the day is a current show that I've recently come across. It's called Mrs. Brown's Boys and it is hysterical! What I like about this show besides the sassy Mrs. Brown, who's is played by the very funny MR. Brendan O'Carroll, is that the fourth wall is broken so it really brings the audience into the show. Mrs Brown's Boys has an interesting history. It started out on an Irish radio show in 1992 and then became a series of books written by Brendan O'Carroll(now the shows creator and title character). The popularity of the books (The Mammy, The chisellers, The Granny, And the Young Wan)  sparked a movie called Agnes Browne in 1999 that stars Anjelica Huston. O'Carroll also started a series of stage plays arond the U.K. and Ireland starring himself after the success of the film. In 2010 O'Carroll was asked to turn his beloved Agnes Brown into a television series. It went on the air in 2011 and has been a roaring success ever since. The fan base of the show has been described as "ever growing army."  Mrs Brown gets a Bikini wax - Video Dailymotion This is my  favorite clip of the show so far, and here is a link to the full length movie.
