However Cathy returns from her trip to America with unwelcome news, but who will tell Mammy?

Criticism

O'Caroll has received criticism over his live shows[ citation needed ] as they have been adapted into the 23 episodes of the BBC TV series Mrs Brown's Boys, thus making a lot of his stage material seem a repeat of what the television series has shown, however, he wrote the plays before the TV series. Despite this, the 2013 tour received 4.5/5 based on 1,000 reviews on Ticketmaster. [13]

The Plays

How Now Mrs Brown Cow is the fourth play in the live series. The preceding plays are: Good Mourning Mrs Brown, Mrs Brown Rides Again and For the Love of Mrs. Brown.
