Emma Doran: Taking a risk & quitting her day job


Listen Later

Emma Doran is Stand-up Comedian, Podcaster, Actor and Author. She is enjoying a breakthrough year which has seen her star in Prime Video’s first original series in Ireland, LOL: Last One Laughing hosted by Graham Norton and top the bestseller lists with her debut book Mad, Isn’t It? She has appeared on popular TV shows such as Celebrity Gogglebox, gained millions of views for her comedy sketches on social media, and pack out houses across the UK and Ireland. In 2022 Emma made her debut nationwide stand-up tour, Mad Isn’t it? which enjoyed a sell-out run and she is currently touring with her show Dilemma. She currently co-hosts the podcast 'Keep It Tight' alongside fellow stand-up Deirdre O’Kane.


In this episode we discuss being ready for opportunities and that you are where you are meant to be at any particular time in your life. Her three Sliding Doors Moments include: doing her first ever stand-up gig and how this ignited a passion that built the path to where she is today, approaching a guy in a club and making the first move (who is now her husband!) and taking a risk and quitting her day job!
