Dr Jo Prendergast: Cancer and Cartwheels

Written during Jo Prendergast's cancer treatment, this show blends comedy, storytelling, music, and video to entertain and educate. As both a medical professional and a comedian, Jo turns her journey of resilience and self-discovery into absurd yet uplifting moments that will leave you laughing and reflecting.

After cancer left her right arm disabled - could she ever cartwheel again? - she shares the emotional and physical challenges of survival while celebrating triumph over adversity. The show also explores early cancer detection, menopause symptoms, and the toll of treatments.

But it��s not all heavy - expect comedy skits, musical acts, and laugh-out-loud moments, alongside discussions on toxic positivity, body neutrality, and healthcare inequality. Whether you're a survivor, navigating aging, or love comedy with heart, Cancer and Cartwheels will leave you uplifted, informed, and entertained.
