The fan base is one aspect The ComeBackKings have not the luxury or time to pay more attention to, given their daily tussle with their professional and personal lives. The Kings often wonder if there is such thing as a 'fan base', especially theirs.

But if The Kings would have the honour to name one of their loyal fan(s), it would be Cheryl Marie Bastian and her family.

Back in 2005, Cheryl is one of the many who witnessed The Kings' first win in a Talent Competition courtesy of IACT College. Cheryl and her family were at The Actors' Studio (TAS) when The Kings hosted and starred in TAS's Free Flow 2006. A year later, she gave The Kings their opportunity of their lifetime - to star in their own Internet-TV programme in www.gua.com.my. And when The Kings held their first public performance of 2008, the Bastian family came by the bus load!

More recently, Cheryl popped up again and asked whether The Kings can perform for her dad's function, The Kings were in no position to say NO. The function was not what The Kings expected though. Criminals and full-uniform wardens crossed their minds but 20-odd comedy-appreciating families did not. Nevertheless, it was the perfect setting for a silent celebration of The Kings' 70th show -the people were friendly, the crowd was ever responsive, the beer was free-flowing and food was ample.

A blurp and contact details of The Kings were in the function's programme book as well. After yet another 'Dance History 101' performance, the many attendees showered The Kings with praise and offered to pass on their contacts. And they were true to their word; the next morning King Ronnie received a call for The Kings to perform for the Kajang Prison inmates!

At the closure of the event, despite The Kings' generous answer to a charity call, the event organizers were even more generous with a token in return. Once again, The Kings would like to raise their wine glasses and say another big THANK YOU to Cheryl and her family!
