Nurse John Announces 2027 'Against Medical Advice: Readmitted' Tour

Nurse John will launch the second leg of his stand-up tour on January 7, 2027, at the Ikeda Theatre in Mesa, Arizona. The Los Angeles-based comedian and viral social media creator announced the "Against Medical Advice: Readmitted Tour" exclusively, a run that follows a first leg which sold more than 75,000 tickets.

The tour covers 30 dates across North America. It opens in Arizona and California, moves through the Pacific Northwest and Canada, then crosses the American South and East before closing in Anchorage, Alaska, on May 22, 2027.

What did Nurse John say about the announcement?

John marked the news with a personal statement reflecting on the scale of the venues he now headlines.

"I never imagined that a Filipino kid with big dreams would one day stand on the iconic stage of Radio City Music Hall," John said in a statement. "I'm filled with so much gratitude for how far I've come and for everyone who believed in me. Everything I do comes from a place of love and the hope that my journey reminds someone out there that no dream is too big, no matter where you come from."

Radio City Music Hall, the 6,000-seat Manhattan landmark, hosts the tour on February 6, 2027.

When do tickets go on sale?

Pre-sales begin Wednesday, November 11 at 10 a.m. local time. General on-sale opens Friday, November 13 at 10 a.m. local time.
