Like a cathartic conversation with your work bestie, John Dela Cruz (Nurse John) delivers comedy filled with trauma dumps, tears, screams and laughter as he reflects on the highs and lows of working in the service industry. A nurse by profession and a comedian at heart, John’s portrayal of life in healthcare is hilariously relatable to both industry insiders and the general public. His spot-on observations and comedic timing have garnered him over 12 million followers worldwide, with his popularity growing daily.

John also hosts I Beg Your Pardon, one of North America's top comedy podcasts with over 3 million downloads. This podcast serves as weekly therapy, delving into the good, the bad and the ugly of working in the healthcare and service industries.

John’s unique ability to blend truth and entertainment reminds us that with enough caffeine, medication and hydration, we can survive even the toughest shifts. Come for the laughs, stay for the solidarity, and you might leave feeling a little less crazy.
