vs. The Rest of the World - T025353131

Dave Gorman is back and he wants to challenge you to a game. Remember when you were a kid, and used to go to a friend's house to see if they wanted to play? Well, as adults we're not supposed to do that, which is a shame because Dave Gorman likes playing. He REALLY likes games. So he knocked on the biggest door - the internet - and asked 76,000 people if they fancied a game. His new book, Dave Gorman Vs the Rest of the World, is the story of what happened next. He’s travelled the length and breadth of Britain meeting strangers in strange places. From casual players to serious game geeks, from the rank amateur to the world champion, he discovered a nation of gamers more than happy to welcome him into their midst. Dave lost a few games but he won a few too. Of course, Dave hasn't been keeping score. Much.

Dave Gorman vs The Rest of the World - T389716111

Dave Gorman talking about his new book. Dave asked 76,000 people if they fancied a game. ‘I’ve travelled the length and breadth of Britain meeting strangers in strange places – their homes, at work, in the back rooms of pubs. From casual players to serious game geeks, from rank amateurs to world champions… I lost a few games but I won a few too. I also won a few friends. It turns out we’re a competitive lot. Not that I was keeping score’.

Sit Down, Pedal, Pedal, Stop and Stand Up - T441373526

In 2009, DAVE GORMAN set off on a unique national tour. The intention: to cycle over 1500 miles across Britain in 33 days... with a gig each night. I suppose that explains the title. But demand for the show has been so high that he’s decided to keep performing it... but this time without cycling from venue to venue. He’s obviously getting lazy. So now only the last bit of the title makes sense. But look at it from his point of view. Same show, fewer blisters. What would you do? Of course from your point of view it doesn’t matter because it’s not a show about the journey. Dave whose hit Radio 4 series, GENIUS, started its BBC TWO incarnation on our TV screens in spring 2009 - may be widely acclaimed as the pioneer of documentary comedy but with this show he’s gone back to his roots as a straight up, one-man-and-a-mic stand-up whose material is "mercilessly sharp and original." (The Times.)

Googlewhack Adventure - T646818130

If someone called you a Googlewhack what would you do? You might reasonably ask them what it meant. But I bet you wouldn't end up playing table tennis with a 8 year old boy in a Boston basement. You probably wouldn't wind up in Los Angeles with three snakes on your head either. But then you're not [Dave Gorman] are you? (If you are, relax, that was a different show.) [Dave Gorman]'s Googlewhack Adventure premiered and sold out at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival and then completed a two week run at The Sydney Opera House which broke all box office records. This success included a nomination for the prestigious Barry Humphries Award. His mum is very proud.
