Call Me Mrs. Brown

Give them a feckin\' great time with the hilarious and remarkably honest autobiography from the star of Mrs Brown\'s Boys, Brendan O\'CarrollA story of humour born of pain, success wrung from adversity and of the steely ambition beneath the affable exterior - Sunday Life__________ \'What? What is it?\' \'You\'re colour-blind.\' Nothing? Nothing? I was aghast. \'But that could be dangerous. I mean, when I start to drive how will I be able to tell traffic lights?\' \'I\'ll give you a hint, son, the red one is on the forking top.\' Before he became the nation\'s favourite Mammy, Brendan O\'Carroll was known simply as Brendan. The youngest of ten children from a poor family in Dublin, Brendan left school at the mere age of 12 to begin what would become a long and varied working life. He would go on to be a waiter, a publican, a window cleaner and a publisher amongst other jobs. 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\'. In his own unique voice, Brendan O\'Carroll strings together the threads of his life, a helter-skelter story tracing the helter-skelter journey of a scrawny kid from Finglas, Dublin to TV screens around the world, told with warmth, humour, a touch of mischievousness - and more than a few coincidences. __________ Σελίδες: 400, Διαστάσεις: 12.9x12.9cm
