If you’re a nurse, you already know what this show is about.
If you’re not… this is your chance to finally understand why your partner comes home emotionally unavailable but weirdly calm in emergencies.
Nurse John brings the tour that survived pure chaos to London’s OVO Arena Wembley, in a never before seen act and comedy, breaking down the dark humor, shared trauma, and mild-to-moderate mental illness that somehow turns strangers in scrubs into family. This isn’t inspirational nurse content. This is the stuff you laugh about because crying would get you reported.
It’s about being short staffed every shift and still being expected to save lives, answer call lights, and somehow keep your tone “professional.” It’s about the stories you can’t tell civilians, the ones you only share with other nurses who immediately nod and say, “Yeah… that tracks.”
You’ll hear about the trauma bonding that happens after shifts that feel illegal, the patients who make you question humanity, the coworkers who become your therapists, and the non-healthcare partners who truly don’t understand how you can see absolute madness all day and still lose your mind over dishes in the sink.
This special show is for every nurse who’s ever said “I’m fine” while actively dissociating, every nurse who laughs at things that would get normal people concerned, and anyone who’s ever worked a job where “self-care” just means sitting in your car before going inside.
Dark. Relatable. Uncomfortably accurate. This special show isn’t just a stand up comedy show, it’s a group therapy.
