Mrs Brown's Boys star Brendan O’Carroll wants to “do a Tommy Cooper” and die on stage
Mrs Brown's Boys star Brendan O’Carroll wants to “do a Tommy Cooper” and die on stage. The Dubliner, 67, is famous for playing Agnes Brown in the award-winning sitcom he also writes.
“But I get it. I’d come out in a wheelchair if I had to. You miss it, it becomes your life. There are people who retire and waste away. I want to do a Tommy Cooper.” After being unable to do any live work during the Covid pandemic, he took the Mrs Brown’s cast, which includes members of his own family, on tour last year.
In the autumn, they’ll take two weeks out from the tour to record the Christmas Day and New Year’s Day specials for BBC1 in Glasgow. Sadly, despite fans desperate to see him back, Rory Cowan won’t return to the series after leaving in 2017. Once the two festive specials are in the bag, Mrs Brown is on the edge of a huge milestone, 50 episodes.
And with the deaths of Paul O’Grady, who found fame as Lily Savage, and Barry Humphries who was Dame Edna Everage, Brendan is the most famous male comedian who dresses up in women’s clothing.
