Following a hugely successful first leg of Emmaculate – her biggest UK and Ireland stand-up tour to date – which has sold out an astonishing 80+ shows so far (including London’s Soho Theatre Walthamstow), Emma Doran will now add 26 extra dates to her smash hit tour, including a night at the iconic London Palladium on 7th February 2027. The critically acclaimed comedian, best-selling author and podcast host is also set to make her Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut this year, playing a month long run at Pleasance Courtyard and condensing Emmaculate into a deadly hour to be enjoyed by Fringe audiences from across the globe.
Extra tour dates and Edinburgh Fringe tickets will go on general sale 10am Wednesday 1st April at emmadorancomedy.com
There’s no such thing as a perfect family but she wouldn’t want one anyway… In Emmaculate 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.
Emma starred in Prime Video’s first original series in Ireland, LOL: Last One Laughing hosted by Graham Norton and recently returned to write and star in series 2 of sketch show No Worries If Not! on RTÉ. 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.
Her previous stand-up 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. Last year, 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).
With the help of her cracked Samsung phone, Emma has garnered over half a million followers across social channels and surpassed over 2.5 million likes on TikTok for her comedy sketches, with one TikTok of her stand-up reaching over 1.8 million views.
