@DaveGorman is there a reason that it seems impossible to find Are You . personally I'm waiting for the astrological experiment on DVD.

The googlewhack DVD is good. The outtakes are possibly the reason we won't see any other shows though I don't know for definite we won't, just have that feeling. Glen Posts: 12, Forum Member. He should do a bit more telly. I know he has a radio show coming up, i just dont think hes going to do any stand up for a while which is a pity I saw him in edinburgh doing Googlewhack and itwas honestly one of the best things i have ever seen.

We've tickets.. If I've missed the point just slap me. Consider myelf slapped. That's sensible. Googlewhack is just superb by the way! I can understand people not liking him, so it's fair enough, really. What gets me, like I say - and what I was reminded of by James' review - is how likeable he is to me, at least in this series and even in his more recent work, such as Genius , so it's not as if you could say that, perhaps, the Googlewhack experience has made him a bit of a git - although I do think it's made him grow up somewhat and yet how much harder he is to like when he writes online.
As much as I'd like to peetend it's because we were sent a review copy, it's because there was a presale and my girlfriend managed to get a copy through that ;-.
By James H December 11, pm. Excellent review, James. I'd challenge the notion that most people will know Gorman through Googlewhack , though I always had the impression that The Dave Gorman Collection was most people's entry point so to speak. By Jonathan Capps December 11, pm. It's certainly well worth a re-watch. The delivery was sidesplittingly funny. I can remember watching this at my folks and having them knock on the door I was laughing so hard. The same could be said of the 'Astrology Experiment'.

Has that ever been released? The final episode with the telephone bet from Dubai was gold.
By Karl December 11, pm. I wasn't so keen on Astrology Experiment I've got it downloaded off UKNova if you want to watch it some time, Karl , not least because it seemed rather contrived - unsurprising, really, since it's perhaps the only time he's set out to do something with the aim of making a show about it, rather than making a show about some stuff that happened to happen to him. The main problem I had with it was that the criteria for deciding who was better off were so arbitrary - his brother has a drastically different kind of life to him a normal, average, happy workaday life , and was stacking up the "happiness" points by doing things like going to the gym and spending time with his kids.
If Dave hadn't followed his horoscope, he wouldn't have been doing the same things as his brother, so it doesn't follow that he would necessarily have been as "happy".
Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure
And the bit with the bet is quite daft - he's losing quite badly at that point, and then suddenly rescues it at the end? I know Dave's not the type to fake things, but I do wonder about that bit.

Even the maths - which worked so utterly perfectly in AYDG? To be fair, his earliest non-stand-up shows, Reasons to be Cheerful and A Better World were both ventures he started with an intent to turn into shows.

As an entertainer, there's a certain amount of contrivance to anything performance he gives, but I get the sense that AYDG and Googlewhack are the most "genuine" of what he's done. Oh, come on. You can't call Are You Dave Gorman? And as for Googlewhack , you'd have to be a very nasty and cynical person to suggest that someone would fake a nervous breakdown and get an American driving license tattooed onto their arm just to get a show out of it.
Does anyone remember a horoscope show with Dave Gorman?
To quote Gorman himself in the stage show : "If I was any good at making stuff up You're probably right that AE was more contrived but again I felt the delivery and timing were superb across those episodes. The bet in particular seemed far to good to be true but then that was the beauty of the comedy in these shows, the random good and bad situations that life throws up. By Pete Martin December 14, pm. By Matthias January 18, pm. This site is now archived. Extras The extras are thin on the ground. Conclusion There may be a more complete version of the story available in print, but the book can never hope to match Gorman's energy and personality as one of the most likeable comedians ever to hit the stage.
Ah well, it can be an aniversary gift :. And if it's only out in Feb, how come you got an early copy? This is a brilliant, brilliant DVD.
