Rory Cowan has quit Mrs Brown's Boys. The actor has been playing Agnes' son since 2002 and has worked with Brendan O'Carroll's company for 26 years.
Cowan performed at London's O2 Arena for the last time last night.
Speaking to the Irish Daily Mail, he said:
"I feel that 26 years is enough so I decided it was time to go. I told Brendan [O'Carroll, the writer and actor] on June 16 about my decision to leave.
"That’s when I handed in my notice.
"I was supposed to leave at the end of that week, but Brendan said that would be impossible and asked if I’d stay on until the end of the London O2 gigs. So I agreed to that."
Rory went on to tell the paper he has been unhappy for some time.
"I'm not going into details about why I was unhappy. I did the final show, packed my stuff into a small Waitrose plastic bag and just left the venue."

Rory says he isn't sure what he's going to do next but he would be open to doing a weekend radio show.
Good Mourning Mrs Brown comes to 3Arena for five shows in December.
