Author Biography International star of multiple BAFTA-award-winning TV series Mrs Browns Boys and Mrs Browns Boys: dMovie, Brendan OCarrolls story begins very modestly. The youngest of eleven children, Brendan OCarroll was born in Dublins inner-city in 1955. His mother, Maureen, was a Labour TD (MP) and a huge influence on his life. He left school at 12 and worked as a waiter, trying many other occupations in his spare time - disco manager, milkman, pirate radio disc-jockey, painter-decorator etc. For a time he ran his own bar and cabaret lounge before being persuaded to try the comedy circuit. The gigs were small at first and even included his own version of Blind Date, but word soon got around about this original and outrageous funnyman: soon there was standing-room only. The real turning point in Brendans career was his first appearance on The Late Late Show, Irelands longest-running chat show: the studio audience and viewers loved him. His first video Live at the Tivoli went straight to No 1, knocking U2 out of the top slot and pushing Garth Brooks to No 3. In 1994 he was voted Irelands No 1 Variety Entertainer at the National Entertainment Awards. He went on to make best-selling videos, and a bestselling record, as well as touring in Ireland, the UK and the USA. The radio show Mrs Brownes Boys, written by and starring Brendan, had a phenomenal daily audience on 2FM and led to the creation of Agnes Browne as the central character in Brendans first novel, The Mammy, published in 1994. The book topped the bestseller charts in Ireland for months and the film rights were snapped up. The Mammy was followed by The Chisellers and The Granny: all three were huge bestsellers. Holywood came calling when Anjelica Huston read and loved Brendans books: she made her directorial debut with Agnes Browne. Brendan toured several other stage shows with Agnes Browne as the central character, before a BBC producer saw the show and felt there was television potential. Initially broadcast in a quiet late evening slot, Mrs Browns Boys quickly became a huge word-of-mouth hit, and quickly moved to primetime, including several Christmas Day specials. A huge success in Australia and other countries where it has been shown, the enduring appeal of Agnes and her family is secure. Brendan continues to write and perform as Agnes Browne, most recently in Mrs Browns Boys: dMovie (2014) Details ISBN1847173233 Year 2011 ISBN-10 1847173233 ISBN-13 9781847173232 Media Book Short Title CHISELLERS Language English Pages 192 Publication Date 2011-11-18 Format Paperback UK Release Date 2011-11-18 Edition 2nd Imprint OBrien Press Ltd Place of Publication Dublin Country of Publication Ireland Replaces 9780862784140 Publisher OBrien Press Ltd Edition Description 2nd edition Alternative 9781486239313 DEWEY 823.92 Audience General Author Brendan OCarroll We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
