"He's not actively pursuing career opportunities, but I believe Joe Pasquale has the potential to excel if he decided to give it a try," the speaker expressed.

During an appearance on the Always Be Comedy podcast with James Gill and Tim Lewis, Alex discussed a major topic. He mentioned that choosing Pasquale as a cast member for all ten episodes would impact the selection of other potential performers. The discussion was quite significant and requires thorough analysis.

At 11pm in the evening, the comic was urgently taken to the hospital in Skegness. However, the place was too crowded for him to receive the necessary medical care.

Joe shared the details of his accident while appearing as a guest on Loose Women. He explained that he witnessed a pair of antlers from a moose charging towards him and believed that it could be the end of him. In reality, it was only the dead head of the animal that he encountered.

Among the objects was a pair of substantial antlers from a moose, which were left scattered on the ground after the lights were switched off. While walking, I stumbled over an unknown item.
