A man had a small heart attack at Russell Kane's show on Wednesday night, because he was laughing so hard at the stand-up.

Kane, who is currently touring with his show titled The Essex Variant!, was performing at The Assembly Hall in Tunbridge Wells.

As he shared on his Instagram page, today he received a message from an audience member saying "Hi Russell, sorry my wife and I walked out of your show in Tunbridge Wells last night, it turns out we were laughing so much I had a small heart attack."

The good news is the audience member is on the mend. He told the comedian: "The hospital should be releasing me tomorrow."

The man jokingly concluded: "To be honest, it wouldn't have been a bad way to go. Great show, keep it up!"

Kane shared the message with his followers with the caption "Come to me show I dare you", and added "Tickets available from my website - follow the link in my bio. Although maybe don't do that if you have any pre-existing cardiological issues."

The Essex Variant! will tour until 29th April 2023. russellkane.co.uk
