	Dave Gorman - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The bet was thus: Dave claimed that he shared the name "Dave Gorman" with the assistant manager of East Fife F.C. and that there must be "loads" of others around.
		The title tune for The Dave Gorman Collection is a variation of Accordion Song by Eliza Carthy, which is the first track on her 1998 album, Red.
		His second television series, broadcast on BBC Two, was entitled Dave Gorman's Important Astrology Experiment, and was quite a novel and unexpected idea for a comedy show, being based upon the idea of a controlled scientific experiment, although naturally not a serious one.

	Amazon.ca: Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure: Books: Dave Gorman (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Soon he had a new stage show, and this book, based on that show, probes his obsession with the word game while presenting the colorful cast of eccentrics he encountered—from a Beijing performance artist to the guy whose house is a shrine to Mickey Mouse.
		Gorman's gift for siphoning silliness from any cubbyhole has an appeal for many (this book quickly became a U.K. bestseller), but not all readers will be ROTFLMAO ("rolling on the floor laughing my ass off"), as per Internet jargon.
		Gorman found the site so fascinating that he met its owner and then asked the women-and-dogs fellow to find him another googlewhack.

		Gorman has become famous over the last few years for setting himself eccentric challenges and using them as the basis for his stand-up comedy.

		Gorman journeyed to far-flung parts of the world to meet the people behind the websites he found while 'Googlewhacking', and the show sees Gorman recount his two months of travel.

		Gorman's lust for the mundane oddity that occupies the various characters he meets, together with the hilarious account of his own obsession driven behaviour, will draw you in to a comfortably insane world.

	Dave Gorman's Googlewhack! Adventure: review on TheaterMania.com
		In Gorman's case, the words entered were "Francophile" and "namesakes" (which, of course, no longer qualify him as a googlewhack, as those two words now pull up several websites -- most of which relate to the writer-performer's current show).
		Gorman is resistant at first; after all, he has turned 31, grown a beard, and believes that he's put his childish behavior behind him.
		Gorman is a marvelous storyteller with a buoyant energy and a charming demeanor.

	BBC - Comedy Guide - The Dave Gorman Collection
		During a drunken evening with his flatmate Danny Wallace, comedian Dave Gorman sets out to meet another Dave Gorman, whom he knows to be the assistant manager of East Fife football club, in Scotland.
		Gorman is a likeable humorist, and his blending of wit with the application he applied to his odd odyssey was a winning one.
		From 1 September to 6 October 2002 Gorman was back on BBC2 with another series, Dave Gorman's Important Astrology Experiment, in which he set out to prove or disprove, in a humorously scientific manner, the accuracy of daily horoscopes.

		Such was the buzz Dave Gorman got from meeting Dave Gorman, he then went on a half year schlep around the world seeking out yet more Dave Gormans: in Ireland, Israel, Norway, America, with a sarcastically derisive Danny Wallace in constant and niggling attendance.
		Dave and Danny are the literary equivalents of tea and biscuits (and there is A LOT of tea drinking in this book!).
		On one hand you have the slightly manic tone of Dave, a man on a mission, while balancing it out is the considerably more depressed tone of Danny, who can't believe what he's been sucked into...

		We too get to meet the Daves, from the assistant manager and former goalkeeper of East Fife to a bookshop owner once winked at by Ringo Starr in Oxford Street (honestly) to New York dwelling Dave Gormans (these were ones who pushed the mpdg ratio up quite a lot) to a New Zealand Dave Gorman.

	Metroactive Stage \| 'Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure'
		On the day he first heard the word "Googlewhack," Gorman was supposed to be working on a novel, for which he'd been given a hefty advance by a large and increasingly impatient publishing firm.
		Gorman is 100 percent human, because he spent the next three hours hunting for and finally finding his own Googlewhack on the website WomenandDogsUK.co.uk website, essentially a collection of old photos of nice women posing with nice dogs.
		Gorman muses, "There's one point in the show, and I don't want to say too much because I don't want to spoil anything, but if you are in any doubt that this is a true story, I will show you scars on my body that prove that this is a true story.

	Dave Gorman
		Dave Gorman's tale of what began as a simple reply to a bizarre email and ended with him travelling all over the world meeting complete strangers, is a tightly scripted, face-paced ride where you leave thinking "What the hell made him want to do that???"
		I won't explain the story in too much detail as it ruins the show, but I will explain what a Googlewhack is. On the search engine www.google.com you can type in any two words on any topic and it will search millions of pages and come back with lots of matches.
		With only himself, a laptop, a pointing thing and a screen, Gorman takes us to a place where reality and the net co-exist, and proves that you can indeed have one with the other (although there seems to be a lot of alcohol involved).

		Two flat mates get drunk one night and one (Danny) bets the other (Dave Gorman) that there are not that many people in the world called Dave Gorman.
		The challenge ultimately becomes a test of whether Dave can find 54 (one for every card in the pack, including the jokers) Dave Gormans (or Gormen) before travelling too far or becoming far too broke.
		The book is written by two excellent writers, in their own voices, and shows the strength of their relationship and determination to carry out such a pointless task.

	The Dave Gorman Collection (BBC) - TV Programs Shopping at dooyoo.co.uk
		Dave has travelled around Britain, and overseas if necessary on a quest to find others by the name of Dave Gorman.
		He aims to maintain the standard of somewhere in-between 300 and 500 miles per Dave Gorman (mpdg) where any value below the former would indicate his name was too common and a mpdg value above the latter would mean he hasn't found a sufficient amount of Dave Gormans.
		The comedy lies in Dave's hyperbolic enthusiasm to what is, in essence, a meaningless cause.

		Dave takes the ennui of getting into your thirties, with all its responsibility avoiding tricks, and draws it out into the extreme.
		Whilst many of us may have painted the kitchen to avoid getting on with what we're meant to be doing, Dave is probably unique in jetting all over the world many times over to achieve the same effect.
