Emma Doran - Emmaculate

Smash hit Irish comedian, best-selling author, podcast host and viral online star Emma Doran hits the road once again taking her brand-new stand-up show Emmaculate across the UK and Ireland in 2025/26.

There's no such thing as a perfect family, but Emma wouldn't want one anyway. The many trials and tribulations of Emma's blended family are laid bare in this witty, rambunctious show from one of Ireland's most beloved stand-ups. Strap in for a night to remember, jam-packed with razor-sharp observations, riotous on-stage antics and conspiratorial gossipmongering.

As seen and heard on No Worries If Not! (RTÉ 2), The Tommy Tiernan Show (RTÉ 1), LOL: Last One Laughing (Prime Video) hosted by Graham Norton, The Late Late Show (RTÉ), Celebrity Gogglebox (Virgin Media One), Modern Love (Prime Video) alongside Kit Harington, The Deirdre O'Kane Show (SKY), Bridget and Eamon (RTÉ), Callan Kicks (RTÉ), Republic Of Telly (RTÉ) and Ireland's 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.
