<p>Comedian Heather McDonald on Tuesday joked about a scary collapse she had this weekend while performing standup in Arizona, leaving her with a fractured skull and two black eyes.</p>
<p>McDonald was reportedly only one joke into her set when she fainted in front of a sold-out crowd, and the joke she told was about being fully vaccinated and boosted.</p>
<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t mean to brag, I don&#8217;t care, but I want you to know: double-vaxxed, booster, flu shot,&#8221; McDonald joked on stage. &#8220;And, I&#8217;m going to be honest, I have the shingles shot, too.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Traveled, went to Mexico twice, did shows, meet-and-greets, never got COVID,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;Clearly, Jesus loves me the most, seriously.&#8221;</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>The comedian then loses her balance and falls backward, knocking her head on the stage.</p>
</div>
<p>McDonald addressed the shocking moment via Instagram with a Tuesday post. In a video clip of the collapse, a voice says, &#8220;When you faint on stage after you brag about being vaccinated.&#8221; The clip continues, showing McDonald and another comedian, Justin Martindale, laughing about the fall.</p>
<p>The comedian further joked by captioning the video: &#8220;I fainted on stage and fractured my skull in front of a sold out show at the <a class="notranslate" href="https://www.instagram.com/tempeimprov/">@tempeimprov</a> What do you think caused it? <a class=" xil3i" href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/karma/">#karma</a> <a class=" xil3i" href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/jesus/">#Jesus</a><a class=" xil3i" href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/comedy/">#comedy</a> <a class=" xil3i" href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/juicyscoop/">#juicyscoop</a> <a class=" xil3i" href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/standup/">#standup</a> <a class=" xil3i" href="https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/covid/">#covid</a>.&#8221;</p>
<p>During an episode of her podcast, titled &#8220;Juicy Scoop with Heather McDonald,&#8221; the comedian <a href="https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5zaW1wbGVjYXN0LmNvbS9yRUJvZTlGUQ/episode/MTliN2Y5MjAtMDFmNC00NWE4LThjYWMtZjU3MmE3OWU1NTBj?hl=en&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjayeW3pvP1AhWGm-AKHQvuAPoQjrkEegQIAhAF&amp;ep=6">recalled</a> the incident in detail. She noted that she did not have a lot to eat the day she collapsed and added that she was currently wearing sunglasses to cover up her two black eyes, caused by the fall.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have two completely black eyes,&#8221; she told listeners.</p>
<p>McDonald suggested on the podcast episode that she was not actually mocking the unvaccinated, but made the joke about her vaccinations &#8220;because it&#8217;s the truth.&#8221; She added that she wanted people to &#8220;feel confident that I followed the rules,&#8221; noting that performers are required to be vaccinated against COVID.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m not judgmental of whatever anybody wants to do,&#8221; she said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I do feel a little braggy in L.A.,&#8221; McDonald joked, noting that her proof-of-vaccination card is completely full.</p>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>McDonald captioned her podcast, &#8220;I fainted on stage in Tempe, Arizona. I went to the hospital and had a fractured skull. I&#8217;m here to tell you all about it and my recovery so far. Did Real Housewives of Salt Lake City&#8217;s Mary Cosby send Jesus for me? Right after I said, &#8216;Jesus loves me the most,&#8217; I fell back and hit my head hard. I talk about it with the eye witness, Justin Martindale. We explain what I was doing all day before the show, and break down what bad karma I have that caused this to happen.&#8221;</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>A spokesperson for McDonald <a href="https://people.com/health/heather-mcdonald-posts-video-of-her-onstage-faint-that-resulted-in-a-skull-fracture/">told</a> People magazine this weekend that the comedian &#8220;was admitted to a local hospital where a comprehensive work up [is] under way.&#8221;</p>
</div>
<div class="paragraph">
<p>&#8220;Thus far the test have revealed no underlying medical issues that may have precipitated this event,&#8221; the spokesperson added, &#8220;noting that she performed the night before with no incident and she didn&#8217;t consume any alcohol before or during Saturday evening&#8217;s show,&#8221; People reported.</p>
