Cancer and Cartwheels - Dr Jo Prendergast

Psychiatrist and award-winning comedian returns after a sold out, critically acclaimed debut.

Laugh through the tough stuff with an hilarious night of meaningful comedy!

 

A light-hearted show about Dr Jo’s victory over cancer and her cartwheeling ability.

Jo was always good at cartwheels. It was her thing.  In 1981 Jo did a cart-wheel-a-thon for Telethon. She was that good.

In 2021 Jo was diagnosed with cancer.  Her right arm was significantly disabled. Would Jo be able to cartwheel again?
