Pre-order the first ever autobiography from Brendan O'Carroll, now
in paperback ________ 'What forking trouble are you in now?' Mammy
asked. She opened the letter and I waited. 'It's nothing, just the
result of your check-up.' There was a pause and then she did an
'uh-oh'. 'What? What is it?' 'It's nothing really . . . but you're
colour-blind.' Nothing? Nothing? I was aghast. 'But that could be
dangerous. I mean, when I start to drive how will I be able to tell
traffic lights?' 'I'll give you a hint, son, the red one is on the
forking top.' Before he became the nation's favourite Mammy,
Brendan O'Carroll was known simply as Brendan. The youngest of ten
children from a poor family in Dublin, his father died when he was
just nine years old. Leaving school at the mere age of 12, Brendan
began what would become a long and varied working life; he would go
on to be a waiter, a publican, a window cleaner and a publisher
amongst other jobs. Throughout the tough moments, Brendan always
had humour and a good story to tell alongside the ever-guiding
inspiration of his own Mammy, a formidable figure who became
Ireland's first female Labour MP. His hope and determination meant
he never gave up, and eventually a chance opportunity to perform
stand-up would pave the way for the TV show that would become 'Mrs.
Brown's Boys'. In his own unique voice, Brendan O'Carroll strings
together the threads of his life, a helter-skelter story tracing
the helter-skelter journey of a scrawny kid from Finglas, Dublin to
TV screens around the world, told with warmth, humour, a touch of
mischievousness - and more than a few coincidences. __________
