Comedian Heather McDonald Collapses Onstage and Fractures Skull After COVID Vaccine Joke

In comedy, timing is everything.

That led audience members at the Tempe Improv on Saturday night to think it was all part of the act when comedian Heather McDonald collapsed on stage after delivering a COVID-themed joke.

But the collapse was no joke for McDonald, who suffered a skull fracture, according to KPNX.

McDonald was just a few minutes into her routine at the Arizona venue when she veered into COVID territory.

“I’m vaxxed, double vaxxed, boosted … and flu shot and shingle shot and haven’t gotten COVID, and Jesus loves me most,” she said, according to TMZ.

The former “Chelsea Lately” star then dropped to the floor of the stage, hitting her head.

TMZ reported that audience members at first assumed the fall was part of her act. Once it was clear something was wrong, an EMT and a nurse in the crowd went up on stage to help until first responders arrived. – READ MORE
