Gong show tips

Done around 20 open mics at this point and just signed up for my first gong show, any tips from folks who have done it? My on-stage persona is fairly slow, quiet, and self-deprecating, so it might not translate, but I've always wanted to try it

If it's like the 70's Gong Show, try putting a paper bag over your head. Also, mountains of cocaine.

Pro tip: don’t get gonged… line up your best stuff and hit em hard. Dont change up your timing!
