Nurse John: Against Medical Advice Tour

Filipino-Canadian comedian Nurse John brings his signature blend of healthcare humor and relatable storytelling to Madison. Drawing from his years as a frontline nurse during the pandemic, his stand-up sets explore the lighter side of patient care, burnout, and the absurdities of the medical world.

Attendees can expect sharp observational comedy that has resonated with audiences across Canada, Europe, Australia, and beyond. Nurse John’s online content—where he simulates nurse-patient interactions and dances to encourage medication adherence—provides a glimpse into his offbeat, compassionate style.

This tour continues the momentum of his previous Short-Staffed run, which turned pandemic fatigue into laugh-out-loud material. While his content is mostly focused on healthcare workers, he has broadened his subject to include experiences of other customer service workers.
