Mrs Brown's Boys
Plot Summary
Mrs. Brown's Boys is a British-Irish award winning sitcom created by and starring writer and performer Brendan O'Carroll.

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.
