On 30th May 2016, I went to support a fellow comedian who was taking on the King Gong show at The Comedy Store, a gig that is commonly known as "London's most brutal open mic night". I was not planning on having a go at beating the gong; I didn't even have my 5 set fully planned out ( hence why I stumbled even more than usual). However, after seeing her harshly gonged off, and having a couple of comedian friends say "go on, Tom, you should do it", I decided that I didn't have anything to lose. Amazingly, I won King Gong, beating 30 other comedians.
The MC was Mick Ferry. The audience were great. I am very happy. Me, winning The Comedy Store King Gong. Who'd have thought it.
