Michael Blaustein: The Taste Me Tour: The Final Leg

Michael Blaustein brings his stand-up comedy show, The Taste Me Tour: The Final Leg, to the Martin Marietta Center in downtown Raleigh on Sunday, October 18. The show starts at 7 PM, with doors opening at 6 PM. It's playing in the Meymandi Concert Hall, right in the heart of downtown.

Blaustein is one of the fastest-rising names in stand-up right now, and a good part of that is how he's built his audience. His viral clips have racked up more than 900 million views across social media, and he's sold out venues all over the world. He's coming off a big 2025 tour year, with over 70,000 tickets sold. This Raleigh stop is billed as the final leg of the Taste Me Tour, so it's one of the last chances to catch this particular run.

When he's not on the road, he co-hosts the comedy podcast Stiff Socks with Trevor Wallace, which has more than 70 million downloads. He's also worked with brands like Manscaped, Liquid Death, and BetterHelp. If you've seen his clips online but haven't seen him live, this is a good place to start.

There's also a lounge option for ticket holders. The Lounge is a private pre-show space with its own exclusive entrance that opens 90 minutes before the performance, and it stays open through intermission. Inside, there's a dedicated bar with one complimentary beverage per guest and complimentary light bites. Between that and the 6 PM doors, you've got plenty of time to settle in before the 7 PM start.
