In a stage stunt that went horribly awry, a dwarf performer at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival had to be rushed to the hospital after his penis became stuck to a Hoover vacuum cleaner. The vacuum, a prop for the role actor Daniel Blackner was playing became attached to Blackner's member after the actor failed to allow glue that was used to repair a broken part dry properly. Blackner stated that being brought into the emergency room with the Hoover attached to him was "The most embarrassing moment" of his life. Luckily medical teams saw Blackner quickly and removed the vacuum; he is now recovering well and will return to acting soon.

A dwarf performer at the Edinburgh fringe festival had to be rushed to hospital after his penis got stuck to a vacuum cleaner during an act that went horribly awry.

Daniel Blackner, or "Captain Dan the Demon Dwarf", was due to perform at the Circus of Horrors at the festival known for its oddball, offbeat performances.

The main part of his act saw him appear on stage with a vacuum cleaner attached to his member through a special attachment.

The attachment broke before the performance and Blackner tried to fix it using extra-strong glue, but unfortunately only let it dry for 20 seconds instead of the 20 minutes required.

He then joined it directly to his organ. The end result? A solid attachment, laughter, mortification and ... hospitalisation.

"It was the most embarrassing moment of my life when I got wheeled into a packed AE with a vacuum attached to me," Blackner said.

"I just wished the ground could swallow me up. Luckily, they saw me quickly so the embarrassment was short-lived."
