gigged

Note
The final g doubles before the ending, as in other short verbs ending in one vowel and one consonant, and a single spelling serves as both past tense and participle. The performing and freelance-work senses are intransitive. The transitive senses also allow a passive: in informal US military usage a cadet is gigged for a dress-code lapse, and a comedian's target can be gigged, meaning mocked.
The cadet was gigged for an unpolished belt buckle.
The host gigged the latecomer all evening.
