Googlewhack Adventure

After watching the majority of his first 'Im Dave Gorman' Experiment i was intrigued to find out what Googlewhacking was all about. And the end result i was presented with was sheer genius working on stage. Although it is hard to comment on the content without giving away too much, Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure takes you on a journey like no other. It all started with an email from a fan referring to his website as having a Googlewhack on it. What is a Googlewhack i hear you cry? A Googlewhack happens when you type any two words (from a dictionary or Google's own online dictionary)press search, and only get ONE result returned. Harder than you'd Expect. When Dave attempts this he finds himself taking an unexpected trip spanning a fair few miles around the world. A fantastic bit of viewing even for those unfamiliar with his work. You'll laugh, you'll cry you'll even cringe at his independent struggle to pursue this random endeavor. Random but Revolutionary. This truly is tale of epic proportions

This is one of the funniest DVD's out there from one of the most interesting comedian's in Britain today.

What is so refreshing about Dave Gorman is that he doesn't actually make up jokes to make the audience laugh, come to think of it he doesn't really tell many jokes, he just tells the audience what happened on his adventure around the world meeting other 'googlewhacks', people who may be (unknowingly) part of a huge internet game. The story is so ludicrous it can't be made up, everything here is true and that's why is it that funny. To think it all started out by him getting a random Email and then getting very drunk (don't all the best stories start that way?) If you have ever seen any of his TV shows, or read any of his books you know exactly what to expect, if you haven't then rent this and allow him to talk about his travels for two hours, you won't regret it!

This is the greatest most in depth and emotional comical act ever. This stand up act is so funny and intense. A laugh riot at the way through, there's even points where emotions reach a height of danger but it all makes sense at the end, u may like the end and u may not but it sure is intense. Oh my god please please please please please watch this is u like comedy and please please please please please watch it even if u don't. It's not only a comical act but also real life, these are real events that happened in David Gorman's life that he retells by using a variety of slides. This act is a journey brought to u by David Gorman and a journey that u will not forget.

Dave Gorman's adventure is both hugely surrealistic, and hugely real.

Based on the true tale of what happens when random events are carried to a logical end, Googlewhack is one of the most surprising one-man shows to be seen in quite a while.

As much theater as comedy it does more than just ask us to laugh or think - it causes us to wonder at the sheer magnitude and determination of the quest that Dave undertook.

Never losing his thread thanks to his trusty Mac and Keynote presentation - there is a definite mania to the whole thing.

After the first hour it began to be repetitive, then suddenly caught fire again and the last 30 minutes are superb.

Can honestly say that this is one of the best one man shows out there - and one to be enjoyed - Dave does not come across as a Las Vegas type comedian - nor Lenny Bruce - he is quintessentially unique - a downtrodden Don Quixote off questing the world - it is a wonderful and at times tiring watch - but really lingers after...

Dave Gorman is possibly the most talented raconteur around, his manic delivery style and the clever manner in which he gets the audience to become part of his quest is simply brilliant, he doesn't tell jokes, he doesn't churn out one liners, he merely describes his fantastic, but entirely true journey, and the result is two hours of the most hilarious entertainment. I have never laughed so loud or so long at any other performance, an absolute delight from start to finish. My wife sat in front of the TV determined not to enjoy what she was sure was going to be adolescent, masculine humour and within minutes was in paroxysms of delight and she is a tough audience. If you rent or buy only one DVD this year, make it this one.
