Comedian Chris Green came a cropper while performing as Tina C at the Udderbelly.

In his act, in which he plays a country music star of somewhat limited intelligence, he pretends to hit himself in the face with the microphone.

Unfortunately on Thursday he managed to do it for real.

Everyone roared with laughter, thinking it was part of the act. He soldiered on, despite the fact he had knocked a tooth out of line.

He had to wait until he had finished performing his other alter ego, Ida Barr, on Sunday before he could visit a dentist.

Luckily the Ida Barr character, being an elderly ex-music hall star, has rather imperfect teeth so it was not too much of a problem.
