Description

A clean, award-winning parody of a personal development seminar for Gen Z-ers to Boomers. See why it sold out and got five-star reviews around Australia and New Zealand! Performed by psychiatrist Dr Jo Prendergast, author of teen mental health book When Life Sucks. ***** (SeeDoEatReview.com). 'One show you don't want to miss' ***** (PlayAndGo.com.au). 'Had the audience in stitches... thoughtful, well-paced, sharply-observed comedy grist and the mixed-age group audience was totally on board' (TheatreTravels.org).

Oh dear, sorry Jo, I'm sure you're lovely, and maybe we had an off-day, but I thought this show was embarrassingly awful, and the material was out-dated.

Perfectly captures the uncool factor felt by many parents trying to connect with their teenagers. Innovative and amusing “seminar learning” format for parents, with hilarious layered irony - are we laughing at the teenagers - or at the mum?
A high energy show with great audience involvement and amusing video clips of Dr Jo’s children. Highly recommend as a family outing.

I learned a lot watching this show/ personal - parental development seminar and I truly feel as if I am now a bit more cool. I’m sure when I go back to my teens in NZ they will notice for sure LOL! This was a great laugh - highly recommended

The Cool Mum is a very funny show. The biggest laughs come from the teenagers in the room. Dr. Jo Prendergast can clearly connect with young people better than many parents can. Perhaps the clue to an answer is here after all.
