June Rodgers (born 24 June 1959) is an Irish comedian, singer and actor.[2][3] Much of her repertoire consists of multiple character skits, mainly focusing on working-class Dublin themes, including the characters of 'Jacinta O'Brien'[4] and 'Oliver Bond' (named after the Oliver Bond flats).[5] Her 2014 Merry Month of June Tour alone required 20 costume changes.[1]

Rodgers' shows frequently include elements of song, dance and cabaret.[5] She appeared as Fat Annie in the film Agnes Browne (1999) and played the same character in Mrs. Brown's Boys D'Movie (2014). She has also portrayed various characters in the BBC sitcom Mrs. Brown's Boys, before taking on the regular role of Birdie Flanagan in 2023.
