Stand-up comedy show by Nurse John, part of his Against Medical Advice tour, within the Texas Welcomes series.
Nurse John is coming to Bass Concert Hall on Saturday, November 14, as part of his Against Medical Advice tour. If you've come across his clips online, you already know the deal: John Dela Cruz is a stand-up comedian who spent years working as a nurse before turning to comedy full-time, and he builds his act around those experiences in healthcare. Fans describe the result as feeling like talking to your work bestie, and that's a fair way to put it—it's a show that comes from actually being in the room.
He's not exactly a newcomer to the stage. His debut tour, The Short-Staffed Tour, sold more than 250,000 tickets across more than 200 shows. Since then, he's kept moving: he sold out the 2026 spring UK extension, played 22 shows across Europe including OVO Wembley Arena in London, and announced an Asia extension that includes the MOA Arena. In the fall of 2025, he ran over 50 back-to-back shows across Australia and New Zealand, and he's headlined festivals like Netflix Is a Joke, the New York Comedy Festival, and Just For Laughs. Between the touring and the social media, he's gathered nearly 17 million followers.
