Who'd have thought a potty-mouthed Dublin mammy with a cream
cardigan and elasticated tan tights could storm British TV screens
and 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 his TV show has
become a number 1 ratings success and 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 - and she later became
the inspiration for his indomitable character Agnes Brown. However,
the family endured poverty reminiscent of Angela's Ashes and
Brendan saw no option but to leave school at 12 to work. He married
young and for decades struggled to make ends meet. Eventually,
bankrupt and desperate, Brendan went to see a fortune teller who
told him she could see his future achieving worldwide success as a
comedian and actor. At first Brendan laughed at the notion, but
then he thought of how much his friends loved his gags, and decided
to give it a go... This is the magical story of how a loveable
Irishman with a wig and 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, and
talent and will remind readers afresh that sometimes the facts can
be even more extraordinary than the fiction.
