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.”
