Jo is also a medical doctor with a unique ability to share important health messages through comedy.

‘Had the audience in stitches’ – Theatre Travels
“The show is full of fun and silly pieces. Watching her role play hypothetical conversations between her “Boomer Boob” and “Millennial Boob” was a real treat, as was the Cancer Patient Job Interview. In addition to being very funny, Jo also has a terrific way of sharing educational information. And she’s so talented, at times it feels like a one-woman pageant: she glides from fashion catwalk, to life coach, to singer. There probably should have been a sash worn at some point in the show”. – Backstage Christchurch
