An actual nurse by profession turned viral creator, John is a comedian by heart; his comedy feels like talking to your work bestie, as his portrayals of life working in healthcare have proven to be hilariously relatable to those both in and out of the healthcare industry.
His debut comedy tour, “The Short-Staffed Tour,” was an instant success, selling out more than 250,000 tickets nearly instantly, across more than 200 shows in the last year and a half. John sold out the 2026 spring U.K. extension of his tour, which included 22 shows across Europe, including the iconic OVO Wembley Arena in London. He recently announced the Asia extension as well, which includes the MOA Arena.

About BUDDY GUY 90:
At nearly 90 years old, Buddy Guy remains a singular force in American music. Fresh off earning his ninth Grammy® Award in 2026 for Best Traditional Blues Album (Ain’t Done with the Blues), the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee and one of the last living architects of electric blues will celebrate a historic milestone with the extended Buddy Guy 90 Tour, featuring newly added headline performances across North America in 2026.
Following his widely celebrated Damn Right Farewell and Damn Right Encore tours, Buddy Guy continues to defy expectations, proving that the blues is not only alive — it’s thriving. The Buddy Guy 90 Tour honors a career that has shaped generations of musicians while showcasing the fire, emotion and authenticity that have defined his live performances for more than seven decades.
Born in Lettsworth, Louisiana, and forged in the clubs of Chicago, Buddy Guy pioneered the explosive West Side sound that influenced artists ranging from Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton to Stevie Ray Vaughan and John Mayer. His blistering guitar work, raw vocals and unmistakable showmanship helped rewrite the language of electric blues, bridging tradition and innovation in equal measure.
2025 made it clear that Buddy has no intention of slowing down. From a pivotal role in Ryan Coogler’s cultural phenomenon “Sinners” to the release of Ain’t Done With the Blues, a critically acclaimed album produced by longtime collaborator Tom Hambridge and featuring The Blind Boys of Alabama, Joe Walsh, Peter Frampton, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram and Joe Bonamassa. Released on his 89th birthday, the album reaffirmed what fans already know: Buddy Guy is still creating vital, relevant music with urgency, grit and soul.
The Buddy Guy 90 Tour offers audiences a rare opportunity to witness a living legend on some of the world’s most storied stages, including the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville and the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. A celebration not just of longevity, but of an artist who continues to perform with the passion and power that made him an icon, these shows are a tribute to the blues, its past, its future and one of its greatest champions.
