Brendan, who is bringing Mrs Brown’s Boys D’Live Show to Glasgow and Edinburgh next month, said: “He was a great actor and we miss him. “He used to call me ‘Father’.

A brawl reportedly broke out at Mrs Brown’s Boys’ D’Tour live show at Glasgow’s Hydro arena at the weekend. Fans of Dublin comedian Brendan O’Carroll’s hit spin-off from the successful BBC One sitcom complained of a “10 minute punch-up” soon after the start of Saturday’s performance. The performance had to be temporarily halted while security quickly moved in to restore calm, allowing the gig to continue.   One wrote on the MBB Facebook page afterwards: “Dont know what was funnier the actual performance or the fact the show stopped whilst the fight was happening in the crowd. Another said they “thought it was part of the show”. “Great show, except from the 'extras' that had to be heard in the audience,” wrote another. Another said: “Someone was fighting lol and then one behind me was very loud and drunk. Ended up crying. But the security were fantastic and took her outside untill she calmed down and got back in lol.”
