Blake Lynch, better known by his stage name “Nurse Blake,” has amassed more than four million social media followers who all share the same laughs over his comedic comments that he uses to cope with the seriousness of being a nurse. On August 11, The Granada Theatre will be full of this same laughter when Nurse Blake stops by on his 100-show Shock Advised comedy tour.
Lynch began performing comedy through social media as a coping mechanism, but now, with the success it has brought him, he has been able to connect to nurses (and other fans) worldwide and bring joy to people in professions that may not be as lighthearted as others.
“I didn’t get into nursing to be a comedian. It just happened organically. But being a nurse, we all use humor to get through our tough shifts, so I think that nurses are natural comedians. Since starting my Nurse Blake social media channels back in 2017, I realized that nurses not only enjoy communicating on social media but also at live events. I started my first tour in 2018 with five cities, and that has now grown to over 100,” said Lynch.
