On this episode of The Triple Effect, I’m joined by one of Ireland’s most fearless and funniest voices, comedian, writer, and podcast host Emma Doran.
Emma’s journey into comedy began in the most unexpected way, during maternity leave! Which was a piece of cake compared to having her first child a week before the Leaving Cert. She has become a powerhouse in the Irish comedy scene, from co-starring in LOL: Last One Laughing Ireland and No Worries If Not, to publishing her bestselling memoir Mad Isn’t It. Emma brings raw honesty, sharp wit, and a healthy dose of chaos to everything she does.
In our conversation, we explore how a teacher planted the seed of confidence, how she built a career from scratch, and navigated the early days of her dream and encountering fans during her day job as kitchen porter. We also dive into motherhood, ambition, resilience, and what it really takes to make it on your own terms.
It’s honest, hilarious, and full of heart. You can keep up to date with Emma and find tickets to her upcoming tour Emmaculate HERE
