Do Better tour: laugh loud. live reaL

You’ve felt the silence. Now it’s time to make some noise.

You’ve felt the silence. The dismissal.

The isolation.
You’ve heard the empty advice.

The “it’s all in your head.”

The “just stay positive.”


But no one tells you how to survive when your body betrays you, when your pain is invisible but your suffering is constant.

That’s why I created the Do Better Tour. Not because I wanted to be on stage, but because I was tired of being ignored.

My name is Gabriel Alicea. I live with hidradenitis suppurativa (HS), a condition most people have never even heard of, and one that changed everything about how I live, how I move, and how I exist in the world. For years, I felt invisible. Doctors dismissed me. Friends didn’t understand. I was trapped in a body that hurt and a world that didn’t want to hear about it.

So I found a way to make people listen.

I didn’t grow up dreaming of being a performer. I’m not a traditional comedian or musician. I’m just someone who got tired of suffering in silence. I realized that the world only pays attention when it's entertained, so I learned to entertain. I taught myself how to turn my pain into stories, how to use humor to open locked doors, and how to write music that says what words alone never could.

The Do Better Tour is the result of that journey.
It’s not a comedy show. It’s not just a musical performance. It’s an experience. It’s raw. It’s vulnerable. It’s messy, funny, emotional, and real. It’s built for people like me and people like you who have spent too long being unseen.

This show is for:
– The ones gaslit by doctors
– The ones living with chronic illness, invisible pain, or mental health struggles
– The ones who’ve been called dramatic, lazy, or attention-seeking
– The ones who kept showing up anyway

Through dark humor, original music, and unfiltered storytelling, I bring you into the world of someone who’s lived it. Not studied it. Not read about it. Lived it. And through every story, laugh, and lyric, I hope you see your own strength a little more clearly too.

Every laugh is a protest.
Every lyric is a release.
Every show is a reminder that you are not alone.

The Do Better Tour is coming to cities across the country.
And I want you there.

Whether you live with HS, another chronic condition, or you just want to understand what it’s like to keep going when everything hurts, this space is for you. We’re creating something honest, raw, and real. A space where people who’ve had to be strong for too long can finally just breathe, laugh, and be seen.

RSVP now to reserve your spot. These are intimate events with limited seating, and they’re filling up fast. You don’t want to miss it.

We’ve suffered in silence long enough.
It’s time for the world
to do better.
