Old Mother Riley, whose full name is Daphne Bluebell Snowdrop Riley, is an Irish washerwoman and charwoman character, devised by Lucan. His wife Kitty McShane played Old Mother Riley's daughter, Kitty. It was essentially a drag act but also a double act. The couple played music halls, theatres, and broadcast on radio and appeared in films.
