List of Mrs. Brown's Boys episodes

Mrs. Brown's Boys is an Irish television sitcom created by and starring Irish writer and performer Brendan O'Carroll and produced by RTÉ.

It is also gaining increasingly higher ratings in Australia and Canada. The show has won numerous awards.

It debuted on RTÉ One in Ireland on 1 January 2011 and on BBC One in the United Kingdom on 21 February 2011. As of 1 January 2024, 49 episodes of Mrs. Brown's Boys have aired.
