Emma Doran: Emmaculate

Emma Doran is bringing her latest stand-up show, Emmaculate, to Brighton as part of her current tour. You might recognise her from her viral sketches on TikTok or her appearances on RTÉ’s No Worries If Not! and Prime Video’s LOL: Last One Laughing. As an Irish comedian and best-selling author, she has developed a style that is very much rooted in the sharp, anecdotal observations of daily life. The show dives into her experiences navigating her blended family and the various absurdities of the modern world, delivered with the same wit that has made her a prominent figure online over the last couple of years.

The venue for this one is Komedia, specifically the Komedia Studio located at 44-47 Gardener Street. It’s a familiar spot for anyone who spends time in the North Laine, and the studio setting offers a capacity of around 400. This size usually works well for stand-up, keeping things close enough to feel the energy of the room without it being overwhelming. It is important to note that seating is unreserved, so if you are particular about where you sit, arriving closer to the 7:30 PM door time is probably a good idea before the 8:00 PM start.

There is a slight bit of confusion regarding the exact date to keep an eye on. While the main listing points to Wednesday, 22 April 2026, other tour schedules also highlight Friday, 20 March 2026 as a performance date at the same venue. It appears she is making multiple stops here due to the tour being extended. Tickets for the tour generally start from £19.60, though the specific pricing for the Brighton dates is listed as TBC in some places. It’s also worth noting the age recommendation, which sits between 14+ and 16+ depending on the source, reflecting the adult themes of her material.

For those who have followed her transition from social media star to established live performer, this show represents the latest step in her career. The tour has been selling well across the UK and Ireland, and with the unreserved seating at Komedia, the night should have a fairly relaxed, informal feel. Whether you’re a long-time follower of her sketches or just looking for some new stand-up in the city, the show provides a look into her perspective on family life and the chaos that comes with it.
