Gilbert Gottfried

On November 15, 2014 my brother and I made a last minute decision to see Gilbert perform at Side Splitters in Tampa, FL.

I was hanging out with my brother that day and he just happened to ask who was performing at the nearby comedy club. A quick Google search told us that it was Gilbert. We then decided to each find a decent picture of him and then go to Walmart and get them blown up to 8x10's. As soon as we got them, we headed to the club. Right when we walked in, the first show had ended and Gilbert was signing autographs and taking pictures with fans. We decided to just get our pics signed right then and there.

Gilbert signed an 8x10 photo.
