Comedian Joe Pasquale has informed a podcast he needed to get stitches after impaling himself with a set of moose antlers on the finish of a present in Skegness.
The star was performing on the seaside city’s Embassy Theatre final month as a part of his new tour, The New Normal.
Speaking on Kate Thornton’s White Wine Question Time podcast, he mentioned he tripped on stage and fell on the antlers – narrowly lacking his torso.

“In the act I’ve an amazing massive pair of moose antlers, and so they’re enormous issues. They’ve acquired these enormous prongs protruding, and the gag is I’ve to place them on my head and I’m going ‘I put an excessive amount of mousse on my hair’.
“But at the end of the act the curtains came down and all my props are strewn all over the stage, and they bring the lights down, obviously.
“As I’m beginning to put all my props away, and I actually journey over my moose head.”
Pasquale, who’s 61-years-old, insisted how he’s “quite nimble for my age”.
Likening the incident to Mission: Impossible, Pasquale described how he averted a extra critical damage.
“So I had one leg on the ground and the other one’s hanging out to the right-hand side somewhere, and I managed to push myself over, my torso went over the moose head.
