About the event

Dr Jo Prendergast is #coping
Come laugh through the tough stuff: songs, sketch and standup about #coping with juggling work, relationships, kids, menopause, illnesses and high maintenance indoor plants! From a multi award-winning comedian, psychiatrist, and fellow life juggler!

Yep, Dr Jo Prendergast is #coping! But only just!

Have you felt like you are juggling so many things in life, that at any moment they might all come crashing down? Or that there are so many unrealistic expectations about how you need to be?

Laugh and learn with toxically positive ‘Barbi’ skits, authentic lifestory comedy and a touch of TED talk from a psychiatrist – about how we cope with juggling the expectations that come with our multiple roles in life.

Jo's earlier show The Cool Mum won Audience Favourite and Best Solo Show Nelson Fringe.

She has featured on TVNZ’s Adam and Eve Show, The Jess Rowe Big Talk Show, The Project, Channel 9 Today Extra, ABC Weekend Breakfast, the AM show and TVNZ Breakfast, BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Scotland TV Best Jokes Edinburgh Fringe.
