WILKES-BARRE – Viral comic sensation Nurse Blake returns to the F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts with an important question—“BUT DID YOU DIE?”
The “But Did You Die?” tour, which will kick off on Friday, September 12, at 8 p.m. in Wilkes-Barre, 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!”
