Nurse John Presents Against Medical Advice

John Dela Cruz, widely recognized by fans around the globe as Nurse John, is a stand-up comedian born in the Philippines and now based in Los Angeles, CA. An actual nurse by profession turned viral creator, John is a comedian by heart. His comedy feels like talking to your work bestie, and his portrayals of life working in healthcare have proven hilariously relatable to people both in and out of the healthcare industry.

His debut comedy tour, “The Short-Staffed Tour,” sold out more than 250,000 tickets across more than 200 shows in the last year and a half. John sold out the 2026 spring UK extension of the tour, which included 22 shows across Europe, including OVO Wembley Arena in London. He recently announced the Asia extension, which includes the MOA Arena. In fall 2025, he sold out over 25 back-to-back shows across Australia, including the ICC in Sydney, and New Zealand. He has also headlined shows at festivals including Netflix Is a Joke, New York Comedy Festival, and Just For Laughs.

Outside of stand-up, his relatable humor has garnered nearly 17 million highly engaged followers across social media. He has appeared on red carpets for events including Gold House’s annual Gold Gala and the Unforgettable Gala, and premieres for “Wicked: For Good” and “The Fantastic Four: First Steps.” He is represented by Logan Watkins at Select Management Group and Creative Artists Agency (CAA).
