Dave Gorman's Modern Life Is Goodish
http://uktv.co.uk/dave/series/tvseries/251580 Quote:
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. Starts tonight. I'll give it a watch to see what it's like. I hope it's more standup comedy than lecture though.
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. |

First found out about this show from this ad/trailer.
To be honest I was more interested in the girl showering ![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-tuDe_NUDA |

It sounds like the new series is similar subject matter to his last tour (which was very funny).
Can't wait for tonight. |

Quite enjoying it actually, even if some of it is obvious - eg 'People who ask questions on Yahoo Answers are knobs/idiots' etc
![]() His voice is a bit high though

I'm enjoying it. But yes, his voice is a tad odd tonight!

I loved that Emailer Plus thing - it really did look like an 80's version of the 'future' (but came out in the 2000's)

He's the only person to have read all 39 pages of the Boris Bikes conditions, and he found a mistake.

Enjoyed it but the faux old fashioned slide projector sound effects started to grate on my nerves.

Enjoyed it last night but then I enjoyed his last tour and a bit of the material (the forum poem and the whole fake Twitter account thing) was taken directly from there.
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 |

I'm led to believe it is his stage show converted into a TV programme.

The last 2 lines of the leap year poem do rhyme so f*ck you Gorman ('which have 28 days clear, and 29 each leap year')

Checked a lot of online shopping sites that sold clocks and funny how they almost all read 10.08 as if the smiley hands position makes any difference. Had never took notice of that before.

Watched this the other day at some ungodly hour. The episode where he told us to pay attention. I paid so much attention that I can't remember what the hell was on it bar the T&Cs of the Boris bikes.
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. |
