MEDIA RELEASE
MELBOURNE – March 2024: In an absolute treat for non-cool parents and grandparents alike, Jo Ghastly is set to bring her much needed personal development seminar Jo Ghastly: The Cool Mum to Melbourne audiences on April 8th as part of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival 2024. Jo Ghastly is the alter ego of New Zealand based psychiatrist, Dr Jo Prendergast - who is a comedian by night! Her unique style of comedy looks at the challenges of parenting and everyday observations of life.
Following sold-out seasons, with 5-star reviews at Adelaide Fringe and New Zealand Comedy Festival, Jo is bringing her hilarious alter ego ‘Jo Ghastly’ to the Double Tree Hilton in April 2024. The show is based on Dr Jo’s own parenting disasters and developed from how she thinks her teenage children see her - embarrassing, trying to be cool and failing miserably, presented in the hilarious form of a celebrity personal development seminar.
“Comedians like to find the funny, silver linings in even the darkest times. If we have a nasty accident we think, “I can use this on stage” before we even hit the ground!” – Dr Jo Prendergast
The Cool Mum has a little bit of something for all comedy and storytelling fans - there’ll be light-hearted jokes, but also truthful, take-home messages. The show includes fun audience interaction skits and hilarious video clips with Dr Jo’s own teenagers.
Don’t miss The Cool Mum – contrary to what Dr Jo’s kids think, it will be very cool! https://drjoprendergast.com/
