The Short-Staffed Tour represents a strategic move to capitalize on Nurse John’s immense online popularity by bringing his comedy to live audiences. Performances will feature new, exclusive material crafted specifically for the tour and VIP packages that will give fans an opportunity to meet Nurse John up close and personal.
"I have never imagined in my life that I would one day be on stage, doing stand-up and making my besties laugh, cry, and feel seen! It is so surreal but it’s here and I am excited," says Dela Cruz. "I have worked so hard to create the comedy experience of a lifetime and I can't wait to share it with everyone. Get ready to be short-staffed!”
The Short-Staffed Tour merges the digital success of a social media influencer with the live performance arena. With a massive and engaged follower base, the tour is anticipated to sell out theaters around the county.
