Emma Doran (Part One)

This week Emily and Ray take a stroll with the brilliant Irish comedian Emma Doran.

Emma is a huge dog lover with two of her own, Twiggy and Stan, back home in Ireland, and naturally the chat quickly turns to canine life. Ray, meanwhile, seemed quietly delighted to have Emma’s undivided attention.

Emma talks to Emily about her fascinating life story, from growing up in Ireland to discovering she was pregnant with her daughter while still at school, and how becoming a young mum ultimately gave her the confidence to take the leap into stand-up comedy. A very good decision, as Emma has gone on to become one of Ireland’s most prolific and successful comics, with multiple sold-out tours, millions of online views, and a memorable appearance on the Amazon series Last One Laughing Ireland.

Her live show Emmaculate is touring across Ireland and the UK this year. Tickets and dates are available at https://emmadorancomedy.com. Emily also highly recommends Emma’s debut memoir Mad Isn’t It?, a funny and deeply honest read.

It’s a warm, hilarious and big-hearted walk with someone who radiates good energy and loyalty, particularly when it comes to defending Ray’s honour.
