Nurse John

Nurse John

Special Event

John Dela Cruz (a.k.a. Nurse John) is a stand-up comedian based in Los Angeles whose comedy feels like talking to your work bestie—you trauma dump, cry, scream, and laugh all in the same breath.

His Short Staffed Tour was a phenomenon, selling over 200,000 tickets across 100+ shows in the US and Canada, plus 28 back-to-back sellouts in Australia and New Zealand. He’s also taken major stages by storm, from Netflix Is a Joke, New York Comedy Festival, and JFL, to iconic venues like London’s Royal Albert Hall (twice!) and Sydney’s ICC.

Beyond the stage, John has built a global audience of 12M+ followers who connect with his hilariously relatable take on life. He also hosts I Beg Your Pardon, one of North America’s top comedy podcasts, which fans call their weekly therapy session.

An actual nurse by profession and an “accidental comedian” at heart, John’s sharp, heartfelt portrayal of life in healthcare hits home for audiences everywhere—whether or not they’ve ever worn scrubs.
