The Last Word: Emma Doran wanted to be an actress growing up, but now she’s one of Ireland’s best-loved comedians. Here, she chats about her love of sleep and cheeky solo dates and how working in a chipper was the worst job she’s ever had...
Instinctively I’d say no, but I wouldn’t pass a penny and not pick it up. I don’t have any pre-gig rituals.I wanted to be an actress, but I wouldn’t have told anyone that because that would have been absolute notions. If I was really honest I would have said actress/ice skater because I was a big Torvill and Dean fan. That would have been the dream. If I was pushed at school I would have done something vague about art.
of them though, I just don’t like them. Not to be judgy, but I think it’s the fact that they don’t have a little house.I find the word ‘proud’ really difficult and awkward to say. I would only be comfortable saying I’m proud of my kids, not myself.Can I say sleep? I’m very excited about sleep and getting sleep and having naps. If you bump into me in the street and you want to get me talking, I will always talk about sleep.
But I would have to put homelessness at the top of my list, that is a serious issue in Ireland right now.I’ve had lots of terrible jobs, but the one that springs to mind is working in a chipper in Courtown. It was Leaving Cert results night on my first week. That was pretty bad. It was carnage because the menu was extensive and I didn’t know what a quarter pounder was. There were about 12 different burgers and I didn’t know the difference between any of them. I was cooking and serving at the same time, so what I decided to do was just put food in bags. I charged everyone in and around a tenner and I didn’t get a single complaint.
