Following the success of a 150-city tour run, viral comic sensation Nurse Blake has announced a new 68-city North American tour with Outback Presents: “But Did You Die?” Set to kick off on September 12, 2025, Nurse Blake will return to the stage with his specialty blend of humor and nursing expertise for a night of laughter, connection, relatability and pure entertainment.
Join us for Nurse Blake’s “But Did You Die?” comedy tour on Saturday, Oct. 18 at 7 p.m. in Capitol Theater. Expect a night of nonstop laughter packed with healthcare workers who desperately need a break. Bring your friends, coworkers—and even that one patient who swore they were allergic to water. This is going to be a night to remember! Tickets ($49.48 - $172.95) go on sale on Friday, April 25 at 9 a.m. at overture.org. VIP packages available.
The “But Did You Die?” tour, which will run through December 2025, will dive into the wild things patients and their families say and do at hospitals, from self-diagnosing Stage 8 Cancer with WebMD to hitting the call light like they are on a game show – nothing is off-limits!
“But really though, did you die?” Nurse Blake jokes. “If you know me at all, you know I go there – to all the places that make us cringe and cry in laughter from all that we face as nurses – and this tour will be no different. So, bring your colleagues, your friends, your husbands or wives, your parents and those sassy grandmothers, and join me for an unforgettable night. Can’t wait to see you all!”
