Joanna Prendergast is a Psychiatrist by day and a Comedian by night. She has been touring her debut solo comedy show "The Cool Mum" around the South Island since mid 2020, winning the Best Solo Show and Audience Fav at the Nelson Fringe Festival. The show is a parody of a celebrity parenting seminar and she is bringing it to the Wellington Fringe Festival in March. Joanna assures us she takes her day job very seriously, but her comedy persona, Jo Ghastly, is a different story.
