Nurse John: The Short Staffed Tour

Wednesday, September 18 at 7:30 pm & 9:45 pm

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. John's relatable humor helped him garner over 12 million besties and followers on social media, and over three million downloads of his I Beg Your Pardon comedy podcast. 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.

$39-$49; 7:30 pm show limited tickets.
