Emma Doran

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 returns with 26 additional dates, including a must-see performance at the TF Royal Theatre, Castlebar on January 30th.

The critically acclaimed comedian, best-selling author and podcast host will also take to the stage at the iconic London Palladium on 7th February 2027, and make her Edinburgh Festival Fringe debut this year with a month-long run at Pleasance Courtyard.

There’s no such thing as a perfect family – but she wouldn’t want one anyway… In Emmaculate, Emma lays bare the chaos of her blended family life, diving into womanhood, relationships, and everything in between with razor-sharp wit, riotous on-stage energy, and brilliantly gossipy storytelling.

Emma starred in Prime Video’s first Irish original series LOL: Last One Laughing, hosted by Graham Norton, and returned to write and star in series two of No Worries If Not! on RTÉ. Her extensive TV credits include The Late Late Show, Celebrity Gogglebox, Modern Love, Bridget and Eamon, Callan Kicks, Republic of Telly and Ireland’s Fittest Family. She also co-hosts the popular podcast Keep It Tight alongside Deirdre O’Kane.

Her previous tour Dilemma sold over 20,000 tickets across 60+ shows, including multiple sold-out nights at Dublin’s Vicar Street, while her online comedy sketches have earned her over half a million followers and millions of views across social platforms.

Don’t miss Emma Doran live at the TF Royal Theatre, Castlebar on January 30th – a night of unforgettable laughs is guaranteed.
