Doran has announced a major run of dates from March to May on her Dilemma! tour.
Emma Doran
The Last One Laughing Ireland and Celebrity Gogglebox Ireland star says of the theme of her show: “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?’”
