  1. Links to news stories from...

Pasquale said: "In the act I have a great big pair of moose antlers and they're huge things - they've got like these huge prongs sticking out, and the gag is I have to put them on my head and I go 'I put too much 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 starting to put all my props away and I literally trip over my moose head," he said.

...

"Seriously, I [thought] I was going to die," he added.

If that's the kind of joke he's bringing, it surely wouldn't have been the first time he's died on stage.

He's carting these huge fucking antlers around on a national tour just for the lamest of lame puns. He must have workshopped this "gag" and miraculously not died on his arse, for him to decide it's worth hauling the antlers around. Baffling.

TBF the right delivery can make a terrible joke funny.

Agreed, I probably would have laughed harder if he'd bled out.
