Starts tonight. I'll give it a watch to see what it's like. I hope it's more standup comedy than lecture though.
Award winning comedian and master of PowerPoint, Dave Gorman, makes his debut on Dave with this original, exclusive and all-new six-part series, showcasing his unique analysis of modern life.
Let’s get straight to the point: Dave Gorman thinks modern life is good... ish. However, tired of endlessly being sold stuff he doesn't need, manipulated by the media and harassed by technology, he’s become slightly obsessive about the 'ish'.
But instead of letting it drive him mad he's decided to fight back. A bit. Sort of. Ish. In this series he shares his observations and vents his frustrations in six mischievous comedy performances that cover everything from our behaviour online, the cult of celebrity, family to money and faith. Presented using his own unique blend of stand up, visual storytelling and real-world experimentation, expect a whole new take on the things we normally take for granted.

To be honest I was more interested in the girl showering

Can't wait for tonight.
His voice is a bit high though
And the lookalike stuff he mentioned in next week's show is from his live tour too.
Worth watching though as it's very funny
First thing I did was go on twitter and check out @rickstivens
The lookalikes bit had me cracking up.

Damn, Page not found. Bet the site crashed :rolleyes:
It must have just been taken down.
It was 5 up minutes go.
Nope, add the second bracket and it comes back up.
Got it! Thanks
The lookalikes bit was hilarious though
I kept expecting that unknown to him they had found a lookalike, and he walked on at the end to surprise Dave. The producers missed a trick there.
Not all but certainly the majority are around 10:08 to 10:10 or even 10 to 2!

Really enjoyed it. Never really like him or Danny Wallace before. Always seemed a bit "Mark Thomas Lite" but thought this was really good and will series link it.
Just remembered - had the Lord Sir Alan Sugar mickey take on it. Very funny.
Was surprised it was on a minor digital channel. This would do well on BBC2 / 3 or Channel 4 or perhaps 5.
Better than a lot of the dross on those channels. Am amazed that Jimmy Carr keeps getting work. He was a bit different when he started but really has been past it for the last 5 years or so IMO.
I might be wrong, but I thought Gorman had a twin brother anyway... they could have brought him on for a 'planned' surprise.
