Show Info, Format & Rules

Go Go Gone Show is a free, fun, merciless talent contest with audience participation held at Mama Kin in downtown San Jose. Hosted by goners Mighty Mike McGee, Tom the Timelord and our houseband, The Goners. All styles and talents are welcome. Our grand prize is $150 in quarters and $1 bills.

Free parking on the street after 6pm or $5 flat rate at ParkSJ garage at 3rd & San Carlos behind FedEx Office (first 90 minutes are free).

Performer! Sign-up with Mighty Mike McGee in person at 7:45pm. Show begins at 8:30pm.

Anything goes! Performers get 5 minutes to compete using whatever entertaining talent or skill they have to get the highest score possible from the judges. Our panel of judges are made up of folks selected by Mighty Mike. The judges will score each performance fairly and from the gut. If and when an act is unfavorable to a judge (and only a judge!) they may strike our giant gong with the mallet, thus signifying the end of the performance and the disqualification of the performer for the night. The hosts will usually ask the performer to return next month to try again.

Comedian Andrew Orolfo offers the crowd his best jokes at one of the earliest Gone Shows. You can tell based on presence of Tom as one of the judges, pre-Timelord. Circa 2016.

The audience can also attempt to influence the judges if they find the act to be mediocre or boring by chanting GO! GO! GO!

NOTE: Our hosts Mighty Mike, Tom the Timelord and The Goners all have one gold token that can only be used once (each) per show. This token can change any single judge’s score to whatever they want.
