Comedian Collapses On Stage After Telling COVID Vaccination Joke
Standup comedian Heather McDonald fainted during a show in Tempe, Arizona on Saturday. The audience thought her collapse was part of a joke she had just told about being triple vaccinated:
Eyewitnesses tell TMZ the former “Chelsea Lately” star was headlining the sold-out show, when she delivered her second joke … “I’m vaxxed, double vaxxed, boosted … and flu shot and shingle shot and haven’t gotten COVID and Jesus loves me most.”
As soon as she delivered the joke, she just collapsed and hit her head on the floor. Everyone thought at first it was all part of the act, but it was not. She was conscious, but clearly, all was not well. An EMT and a nurse happened to be in the audience … they rushed up on stage to provide first aid.
Heather tells TMZ … she felt somewhat dizzy when she was on stage and then just collapsed. She says it’s never happened to her before. Heather says she got a cat scan as well as other tests, but so far it’s unclear what caused her to faint. She says her head really hurts and she’s very tired.
