''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.
