Laughter the best medicine after all
Hi neighbours,
Former mental health nurse Jude Ivy gave up working six years ago to dedicate her time to her husband Chris, who was diagnosed with stage four throat cancer and given a year to live.
She looked after him until he died a few months later. Unemployed and alone, Ivy fell into depression, which she had struggled with in the past.
“I stayed strong for him and then when he passed, I collapsed.
“Comedy saved my life,” she said.
The comic has set up her own line-up of comedians, performing at Christchurch’s Austin Club.
“I needed a spark of joy.”

Redzone Dogs
REDZONE DOGS - GROUP DOG WALKS
Hi guys,
I’ve started a Facebook group called Redzone Dogs. It’s a great community where we join and organise dog walks in and around the Redzone. It’s a great way to socialise your dog, feel safer when out and about late at night, and meet locals.
