Nurse John

John Dela Cruz, better known as Nurse John, brings a comedy show that feels like a stolen coffee break with your favourite colleague. On stage at RTM Stage in Rotterdam he vents everything from workplace frustrations to tears, from hysterical laughter to the deep sighs only people in healthcare truly recognise. His humour lands exactly on that feeling of relief: it is not you, the job really is an emotional roller coaster.

With his sharp, relatable videos Nurse John has grown into an online phenomenon with more than 12 million ‘besties’ worldwide. He also hosts the hit podcast I Beg Your Pardon, which racks up millions of downloads as listeners laugh and sometimes cry along to stories from the care and service industries. As a nurse who became a content creator almost by accident, he offers an honest, self-mocking and warm look at everyday care work, proving that with enough coffee, water and the occasional responsible pill, you can survive almost any shift.
