Funny man Gallagher suffered a heart attack last night at a bar in Texas just before he was to perform.
The 65-year-old was getting ready to take the stage when he started to have severe chest pains. The club owner called paramedics who transported Gallagher to a nearby hospital, where it is expected he will remain for several days after suffering a “mild to serious” heart attack.
His signature sketch is the Sledge-O-Matic, featuring a large wooden mallet that is used to smash any number of items, including watermelons.
Last year the standup comic suffered a minor heart attack while performing on stage in Rochester, Minnesota. Ironically, that community boasts the world renowned Mayo Clinic.
