Cath Styles Shift

Laughing Girl Productions presents CATH STYLES Shift

Cath Styles has been a psychiatric nurse for 25 years, and a comedian for 10. Between the nights, evenings, weekends and holidays she's worked in both jobs, she's never had a weekend off. Ever! Shift is the show where both her worlds collide, and explores her on again, off again, love affair with her (paying!) job.

The highs, the lows, the shifts! The dark, beautiful, sad, and sometimes hilarious side of looking after people who are trying to hold on to their sanity, while desperately trying to keep a grip on your own!

No stranger to finding the funny in the dark and bizarre, the creator of festival favourite Darkness and Light blends stand-up and storytelling to tell touching, and twisted tales of her enduring 25 year fling with psych nursing. Flavoured with the black humour of those who work on the front line at stupid o'clock. It explores the craziness of a way of life where strange is normal, and normal is strange. Styles dispels many popular myths about acute psychiatry, such as -mental illness only happens to other people', and -all the hot doctors work in the ER.' 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 the words of a comic. Styles shares her tips on how to love your job, even when it doesn't love you!
