Brendan Carroll is the pen name for Brenda Carol Eaves who started writing books in the 80s.

Having started a long series under a pen name is was almost impossible to change horses in mid-stream.

Call Me Mrs Brown by Brendan Carroll | Goodreads

My only criticism is that where it finished. I wanted to know more. But I guess, there's another book in the dealio. Loved CALL ME MRS. BROWN though, even though I think a lot of fans may come away feeling a tad short-changed.

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'. Brendan was the youngest of ten children growing up in poverty in Dublin. He lost his father at the tender age of 9 and left school at 12 and embarked upon a long and varied working life. He started out as a waiter and went on to become a publican, window cleaner publisher and many more jobs before being launched onto our TVscreens. This is Brendan's story in his own words of his career going from a teenager to how Mrs Brown's boys came about. Whilst it is interesting, I expected more comedy and there were lots of parts of this book that were boring, unfortunately for me. I really wanted to enjoy this much more than I did but I am afraid it wasn't as good as I expected. Not as funny as I thought it would be.
