Dr. Shane Jerominski – The Pharmacist Comedian Who’s Changing the Game

But he’s not just making people laugh, he’s making a difference.

Dr. Maurice Shaw – The Pharmacist Who Got Fired for Being Funny
Meet Dr. Maurice Shaw, the pharmacist-turned-comedian who proved that laughter really is the best medicine—unless you ask his former employer, who fired him for doing stand-up comedy.
Dr. Shaw has traded prescriptions for punchlines by bringing a mix of sharp observational humor and pharmacy-fueled rage that resonates with burnt-out healthcare workers. His gut-busting comedy exposes the chaos of retail pharmacy, the absurdity of insurance companies, and the daily struggle of surviving retail pharmacy.
He’s been tearing up the comedy scene with his hilarious pharmacy humor, performing on stages such as at Zanies, Second City, Laugh Factory, Comedy Bar and many other local comedy venues as well. But he’s not just cracking jokes—he’s changing the industry. As a co-founder of the Pharmacy Guild, a national union fighting for better working conditions, Dr. Shaw is leading the charge against unsafe working conditions in pharmacy.
Fired? Sure. But silenced? Never. Whether on stage or in the pharmacy, Dr. Shaw proves that pharmacy staff deserve better—and that comedy is the ultimate cure for workplace insanity.
