A raucous, fourth-wall-breaking family sitcom that feels like watching a live stage show full of deliberate bloopers and cheeky humour.

Created by: Brendan O'Carroll
Genres: Comedy
Starring: Brendan O'Carroll, Jennifer Gibney, Paddy Houlihan

Overview: Mrs. Brown's Boys is a British-Irish award winning sitcom created by and starring writer and performer Brendan O'Carroll. The show is based on O'Carroll's stage plays about the character Agnes Browne, which were developed from books and straight-to-DVD films. The sitcom continues the stories of Agnes, now with the shortened surname "Brown", and her family who are played by real life close friends and family of O'Carroll's. After being slated by critics, the show has become a ratings success in both Ireland, where it is set, and the United Kingdom, where it is recorded. On 29 December 2012 the show began its third series. Mrs Brown's Boys is a co-production among BBC Scotland, BocPix and RTÉ.
