Googlewhack Adventure

Inevitable Googlewhack Adventure was going to be compared to " My name is Dave Gorman" . The brilliant first series from the man with the same name. Googlewhack adventure attempts to do the same kind of thing only with different rules but sadly end up looking like a show that is far too implausible. Lots of power point displays and photo's but no real people.

Dave Gorman is a very intelligent man , obviously , and he has somehow made himself a cult figure among a lot of people. In this show he seems a lot more highly strung. He's gets angry , which is fine , but it just seems too false. I wont give the ending away but i will say you see it coming a mile away but all in all i pretty disappointed.

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!

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...

Never seen a person better in acting.The face expressions and the presentation was awesome. Some of the incidents really seem to be improbable but David mesmerizes us with his skills. Many would doubt if its genuine, But he sure convinced me and i think many more. A Brilliant way of presenting a crazy theme. The ending is just perfect. More than Worth Watching.Best stage comedy ever. The dailogs do not carry any comedy but the expressions do. Covered all the details of his adventure and starts of explaining clearly. A crazy adventure with a ???? ending. Find out yourself and substitute the question marks :). If you know how to search on google u too will start searching as he did .. but his adventure is altogether different and i doubt if anyone will even think of doing that :))

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.
