The comic says he isn’t bothered if his performances as foul-mouthed Agnes on the sitcom offend people.
He told the Daily Star: "I don’t deliberately try to be outrageous. But when someone says they feel insulted, I think, 'I don’t give a f*** if you’re insulted'. I don’t care."
Brendan gets to be more offensive when he’s dressed up as Agnes.
He said: "Mrs Brown is outrageous. She gets away with stuff that I’d never f***ing get away with
"She’s 70 and when you get to that age, you don’t give a s***. You don’t worry about what people think of you.
"You’ve been there and bought the T-shirt… or in her case bought the bra. That’s her attitude. I love getting to do that."
The sitcom is set to tour the UK with stage show Mrs Brown Rides Again this summer.
Brendan is warning he won’t be holding back.
He said: "When you go to see Ricky Gervais on stage, you know what you’re going to get.
"So don’t be surprised by what he says things… of course he’s going to say those things. That’s what he does.
"That’s what comedians are supposed to do. They’re supposed to ride along the edge."
The tour kicks off in Glasgow on August 25.

Brendan has previously opened up about how he got emotional seeing the set of his BBC One show for the first time.
The hit TV sitcom debuted back in 2011, followed by a number of series and dozens of specials.
While speaking on This Morning to promote his book, Brendan was asked by Holly Willoughby how he felt walking on the show set for the first time in 2011.
"We cried," the Irish star revealed.
"Everyone of us. We had been rehearsing all week and we were exhausted.
"When we walked in, the sitting room was exactly as it was in the books and the plays.
"The kitchen was as exactly as we wanted it to be. There was Irish tea, Irish everything."
