Mrs Browns Boys

[missprim]

I read somewhere that the actor who plays Mrs Brown (Brenden O'Carroll) has some of his family appearing with him in the show.
The actress who plays Winnie (Mrs Brown's friend) is called Eilish O'Connoll but can't find out what relation she is to him in real live.
Do you know?

[Razzle2011]

The whole cast are family members from what I understand....

[Captin Kirk]

Still an awful show from what I saw tonight.

[missprim]

Sorry I made a mistake. Her name is Eilish O'Carroll not O'Connoll so have found the answer now.

[carlton23]

I thought the show was hilarious, especially the fact that she is a man,and the show is in front of a live audience.

[Philtaz]

I agree with carlton, funniest programme on tv so far this Christmas (alongside HIGNFY) and not a repeat either!

mrs brown daughter is in fact his wife !

It would be more fun drilling my own kneecaps than watching this tat.

[boxtops]

kawakiri - I couldn't have put it better myself. Appalling show, not remotely funny.

[mickrog]

best comedy over Christmas and that includes the farcial soaps

[LoftyLottie]

Well, I enjoyed it! Not my favourite comedy but a bit of silly fun which you don't get much of these days on the TV.

You can't please everyone.

[anneasquith]

still game was equally good .

[beckyboo]

one mans meat etc - I was in tears at some of the antics. Agree it is the best show so far this Xmas (and hopefully for the next 6 mondays)

The person who plays Winnie, is Brendan's sister.
