Cath Styles | SHIFT
Cath Styles has been a psychiatric nurse for 36 years, and a comedian for 20.
Between the nights, evenings, weekends, and holidays she's worked - she's never had a day off. EVER!
'SHIFT' is the show where both of her worlds collide, and explores her on again, off again, (mostly dysfunctional!) relationship with nursing.
The highs. The lows. The shifts!
The dark, beautiful, sad, and sometimes, just plain hilarious side of trying to help people hold on to their sanity, while desperately trying to keep a grip on your own.
Flavoured with the black humour of those who work on the front line at stupid o'clock, it's an insight into a world where strange is normal, and normal is strange, and dispels many of the popular myths about working in mental health, such as 'mental illness only happens to other people', and 'all the hot doctors work in the ED'.
A must see for nurses, patients, and everyone in-between, 'Shift' is a refreshingly positive look at mental health from someone with the heart of a nurse and mouth of a comic, with tips on how to love your job - even when it doesn't love you back!
NOTE: PAY ADMIN FEE PER TICKET
Cath Style is a great comedian. Most of it resonated as I am a nurse, so her telling of real events in the hospital truly were laughable out loud hilarious. Great , intimate venue
