Wow! What a fabulous night at the NTA’s on Wednesday. Thank you so much to everyone who voted for us – all awards are special, but when it’s the public that vote, it makes it very special indeed. I’m pictured here with the NTA and my beautiful talented niece Fiona.
I popped into BBC Radio Derby on Thursday and had a lovely chat with Andy Potter about Cinderella, “hand me downs” Live Love Laugh and all things MBB.
Recently I was invited on to the Saturday AM sofa to chat about Elvis Is My Daddy & Mrs Brown’s Boys – nice to meet up with the lovely Simon Delaney again.
Well as the title says, we’re on the last leg of the 2016 Australia & New Zealand Tour – and what a tour it has been. We’ve had fantastic audiences, amazing sunsets, beautiful scenery, marvelous food…..oh and a few earthquakes too. The people of Christchurch are such a resilient lot, they’ve suffered so much devastation but they have, as one got right up, dusted themselves down and started all over again (just as the song says) So, we’re just about ready to fly out to Auckland for our final shows before returning home next week. I can’t believe the tour is nearly over!
So the bags are packed – the passport, tickets and money have been checked several times and we’re ready for our return to Australia, I can’t believe it’s come around so quickly, so looking forward to going back to Wollongong, Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney,Adelaide & Hobart. And this time we get to see New Zealand too with shows in Christchurch & Auckland.
Well we’ve come to the end of another amazing UK & Ireland tour with Mrs Brown’s Boys. Once again I’d like to thank each and every one of you for coming out to see us, your support is sincerely appreciated by myself and the rest of the cast. We performed 76 shows during the year, starting in Rhyl and ending in our home city – Dublin. In between we played, Cardiff, Glasgow, Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester, Sheffield, Nottingham, Birmingham, London and Belfast. It was lovely to meet so many of you at our meet and greets after the evening shows. I’ve seen many of the photographs you shared on the Facebook pages.
I’ve also had so much fun touring with my own show Live Love Laugh and playing Lana Lavelle in Elvis Is My Daddy this year and we’re looking forward to more shows with the latter next year…..The Olympia – Dublin…..make a note in your diaries (dates to be fixed).
So now we have a few weeks rest, before we set of to Australia & New Zealand with Good Mourning Mrs Brown – I’m so looking forward to returning to Australia and very excited that we’ll be playing New Zealand for the first time.
Until then, it’s time to put up the tree, stuff the turkey and have some downtime. So I’ll take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a healthy & prosperous 2016

On Wednesday 25th June we attended the world premiere of Mrs Brown’s Boys D’Movie at The Savoy Cinema in Dublin. The heavens opened but that didn’t dampen the crowds, or our enthusiasm.
It was amazing to see all those people turn out to give us a big Dublin style welcome home.
D’Movie looks like it will be a huge success, and I’m so delighted to be on this amazing journey, I have to pinch myself often to confirm it’s all real.
The Mrs Brown’s Boys team will be back on tour in 2015 with the hit stage show “How Now Mrs Brown Cow”. The tour will cover many of the venues from the highly successful 2013 tour, with the addition of Leeds.
We finished recording the two Mrs. Brown’s Boys 2013 Christmas Specials at BBC Glasgow. In May!
The first one went out on Christmas Day and received a staggering 9.6 million viewers, the second on Monday 30th December received 8.7 million viewers. We had great fun and a lot of laughs making them and looking at those amazing figures, it looks like you enjoyed them too.
