Critically-acclaimed stand-up, best-selling author and podcast host Emma Doran has added 30 extra shows to her 2025/6 UK and Ireland stand-up tour Emmaculate, making it her biggest to date. After selling out shows in London, Dublin, Cavan, Dundrum, Belfast, Castlebar, Galway, Balbriggan, Dalkey, Blanchardstown, Naas, Limerick, Dundalk, Kilkenny and Wicklow, Emmaculate will return to these cities (including two extra nights at London Leicester Square Theatre and three extra Dublin Vicar Street shows), alongside new dates in Dún Laoghaire, Greystones, Cork, Tralee Kerry, Drogheda and Sligo.
Emmaculate is on tour now. Dates and tickets available emmadorancomedy.com.
Emma’s previous tour, Dilemma, sold over 20,000 tickets across 60+ shows (including six sell-out nights at Dublin Vicar Street and two sell-out London Leicester Square Theatre dates) and was extended due to popular demand. Recently, Emma appeared on The Late Late Show alongside Miriam Margoyles and captured hearts across Ireland on The Tommy Tiernan Show, where she spoke candidly about her unexpected pregnancy at 18, which she also wrote about in her best-selling book, Mad, Isn’t It? (published in 2024).

There’s no such thing as a perfect family but she wouldn’t want one anyway…
The many trials and tribulations of Emma’s blended family are laid bare, womanhood examined and relationships put to the test in this witty, rambunctious show from one of Ireland’s most beloved stand-ups. Jam-packed with razor-sharp observations, riotous on-stage antics and conspiratorial gossipmongering.
With the help of her cracked Samsung phone, Emma has garnered over 400k followers across social channels and surpassed over 2.1 million likes on TikTok for her comedy sketches, with one TikTok of her stand-up reaching over 1.8 million views.
Recently, Emma returned for series 2 of the sketch show No Worries If Not! on RTÉ (which she wrote and starred in) and also starred in Prime Video’s first original series in Ireland, LOL: Last One Laughing hosted by Graham Norton. Other TV credits include: The Late Late Show (RTÉ), Celebrity Gogglebox (Virgin Media One), No Worries if Not (RTÉ), Modern Love alongside Kit Harington (Prime Video), The Deirdre O’Kane Show (SKY), Bridget and Eamon (RTÉ), Callan Kicks (RTÉ), Republic Of Telly (RTÉ) and Irelands Fittest Family (RTÉ), while her podcast credits include: You’re Grounded with daughter Ella, And Another Thing! with Muireann O’ Connell and the four-part series Mischief Makers.
Emma currently co-hosts the podcast Keep It Tight alongside fellow stand-up and LOL: Last One Laughing contestant Deirdre O’Kane.
