Nurse John Tickets

Against Medical Advice Tour

About Nurse John Tickets

John Dela Cruz — better known as Nurse John — is a real-life ER nurse turned stand-up comedian who turned pandemic-era coping skits into one of the fastest-rising live comedy careers in the country. With over 17 million followers across social media and 400 million TikTok likes, he built a global fanbase by capturing the chaos, heartbreak, and absurd hilarity of working in healthcare with the kind of honesty that hits whether you've worn scrubs or not. After selling out more than 250,000 tickets across 200-plus shows on his debut "Short Staffed Tour" — including two legendary nights at London's Royal Albert Hall and a completely sold-out run through Australia and New Zealand — he's proven he's far more than a viral creator with a good bit.

A Nurse John show feels less like a traditional stand-up set and more like a group therapy session with your funniest coworker — the one who somehow makes a 12-hour shift survivable. His headlining sets run about 70 to 80 minutes of polished storytelling, character work, and crowd interaction, with local hospital references and city-specific riffs that make every night feel like a one-of-a-kind experience. Healthcare workers show up in groups, partners and friends tag along, and by the end of the night everyone in the room — scrubs or no scrubs — is laughing at the same shared chaos.

His festival credentials speak for themselves: headlining appearances at Netflix Is a Joke, the New York Comedy Festival (twice), and Just For Laughs put him in the company of comedy's most respected touring acts. Now, with the brand-new "Against Medical Advice" tour kicking off in September 2026 and running through December, he's bringing an entirely fresh set of material that digs even deeper into the unhinged, beautiful reality of working with people. If the first tour was the introduction, this one is the full diagnosis — and you're going to want to be in the room for it.
