Emma Doran, one of Ireland’s best-loved comedians, is hitting the road with her brand new show, Dilemma.

Fresh from appearing on the extremely popular show, Last One Laughing Ireland, fronted by Graham Norton, Emma’s 21-date nationwide tour is kicking off this month and will conclude with two nights in Vicar Street in May, before she brings the shows to UK audiences in October.

It's the post-apocalyptic world. There's only one contraceptive pill left. Do you give it to your 20-year-old daughter or keep it for yourself? Is it better to be a 40-year-old grandmother or a 40-year-old new mam?

These are the dilemmas facing Emma Doran, aged 39 and 7/8s, even though the most obvious outcome is neither. If turning 40 is the start of something new, what is it the end of? "Ah here, where's me vape?"

Join Emma Doran for a night of belly laughs where critics have raved about her performances, with the Evening Standard declaring, "You’d be mad to miss her," and The Guardian praising her "Pleasing streak of wickedness."

Emma said: “I am so excited to be bringing my new show around Ireland this spring. We are hitting almost every county across Ireland and doing even bigger venues. I am so excited to be returning to Vicar Street; we sold it out the last time I was there, so it’s going to be great craic performing there again.”

Emma has made appearances on ‘Celebrity Gogglebox Ireland,’ ‘The Late Late Show,’ and most recently on ‘Last One Laughing Ireland’ on Prime Video.

Emma comes to the Riverbank Arts Centre in Newbridge on May 23.
