Dr Jo Prendergast: The Cool Mum, Gilded Balloon Patter House, Edinburgh, August 7 2024 **
We've all met that mum who thinks she is down with the kids and isn't but Jo Prendergast takes it to an excruciating new level. The psychiatrist-turned-comedian plays the role of a delusional mum who thinks she is cool when the truth is quite the reverse.
Maybe she thought it added comedy value. It didn't. Five minutes in my teeth were beginning to curl and her laboured audience participation had you wanting to watch behind a cushion. Small intimate audiences do not want to stand up and dab. It was just uncomfortable and unfunny. Teenagers are hilarious and her tales of being an interfering and overpowering stalker mum could have been funny had she ditched the cool mum persona and stuck to traditional stand up.
