John Dela Cruz’s (a.k.a Nurse John’s) comedy is like talking to your work bestie; you trauma dump, cry, scream, and laugh together through all the high and the lows of working in the service industry. It’s the feeling of relatability and instant relief that you are not crazy from experiencing all the roller coaster of emotions working short staffed while being underpaid, undervalued, and underappreciated. His relatable humor helped him garner over 12 million besties & followers across the globe and growing each day in all his social media platforms. John also hosts ‘I Beg Your Pardon’; one of the top comedy podcasts in North America that currently has 3 million downloads and serves as a weekly therapy for many. It highlights all the good, the bad, and the ugly of working in healthcare and the service industry. An actual nurse by profession and an accidental comedian at heart, his portrayal of life working in healthcare has proven hilariously relatable to those both in and out of the healthcare industry.

John’s ability to combine reality, truth, and entertainment continues to inspire millions around the world that with enough caffeine, medication, and hydration…you too can make it to your next short staffed shift.

Tickets on sale Friday December 6th at 10am local!
