Dr Jo Prendergast is #coping
A comedy keynote on the juggling act of midlife and what ‘coping’ is really costing us
Modern life asks people, especially women, to be too many things at once, and to do it all with a smile. Dr Jo Prendergast is #coping is a tightly written, joke-dense comedy keynote about the cost of that pressure. Audiences laugh through the tough stuff: work, relationships, kids, menopause, illnesses and high maintenance indoor plants. Drawing on more than 30 years of psychiatric practice and her own midlife experience, Dr Jo turns the universal exhaustion of the juggle into something funny, recognisable, and quietly useful. Audiences leave entertained, seen, and with a sharper eye for the warning signs of burnout in themselves and the people around them.
Closing keynote, conference dinner, gala function, social slot, awards night, mid-programme lift, or any conference moment where the audience has earned the right to laugh and the booker wants them to leave entertained, with something thoughtful to take away.
This seasoned comedian delivers on the hype that preceded her. Prendergast is a polished performer, not-to-be-missed.
Thoughtful and wildly entertaining.
Prendergast turns that pressure into a show that is funny, recognisable, and carefully put together.
