guttblott3 karma

Hey Yuriko,

I was in the audience at the King Gong in London on the 25th of May 2015. I recognized you because I still remember you doing the ish bit back then. I was sitting in the 2nd row. I was one of the audience judges. I was the one that gave you the first red card that set off a chain reaction and got you gonged off. Later on after audience protest another comic gave up his time to bring you back on stage and you advanced to the final round. I did it because I thought I was "supposed" to after the first 10 seconds of silence and I was nervous about being a judge. I regretted my decision very very shorty after raising that card. The next day I went on stage at an open mic for the first time in my life and have been doing stand up comedy ever since. I've since told this story to a few people but never knew who you were til now.

How did that experience affect you? Do you think you gained anything from it? And most importantly, do you forgive me :D ?

Yes it was definitely a nice surprise that the MC bent the rules like that, especially considering the hostile nature of the show. I hope to run into you too soon! This time with no cards though.
