Emma Doran has evolved as a comedian, integrating her personal life into her work after achieving success with a memoir. She emphasizes her upbringing in a witty family, where humor was a primary form of communication. Doran, the youngest of three, relates to the birth order theory, which suggests that birth position impacts personality traits. As a 'youngest child', she embodies characteristics of outgoingness and quick wit, successfully balancing multiple creative roles in her career.
People always go 'what the f**k?' when I do this, but I have a theory that the youngest in the family always likes the weaker tea because they always get stuck with the first cup of tea out of the pot.
Those who subscribe to birth order theory, the idea that the order in which a child is born has bearing on their personality, might also describe typical youngest children as born performers - outgoing, attention seekers, highly social, developing a quick wit and humour to sustain the attention of others.
In Doran's case, the cap certainly fits, and she is now thriving in a multi-hyphenate career: occasional actor/podcaster/author/stand-up/internet sketch comedian.
Jokes, banter and slaggings were also, she says, the love language of her family as she was growing up.
