I noticed he is doing a tour in St. Albans next year called 'Dave Gorman's Powerpoint Presentation' or something like that, maybe thats similar to this show
I'm thinking of going actually as I've been pleasantly surprised by the show on Dave, very funny and I do look forward to each new episode

Very good, the best show of the series so far IMO.

Loved all the greeting card stuff

That was the poster he showed in the show. A few posters have said that this seems to be a telly version of his stage show.

Have I read this right?
On the site for my local venue, it says:
NEW DAVE GORMAN SHOW ON SALE
22 NOVEMBER 2014

1. Where can you buy tickets? I cant see them 'on sale' at all.
2. Does it really mean 2014?

I guess if it's for his tour next year then it will be for 2014.

I love Dave, I have his Googlewack show on DVD, and still find that funny as heck!

This show is just right up my alleyway in terms of comedy!

I remember he did a show on BBC2 about Astrology quite a few years ago now which was brilliant. I think it was called Dave Gorman's Big Astrology Experiment or something and he had to live his life according to his horoscope. It was very funny and I seem to remember his brother was on it too (his twin I think)

And I loved Are You Dave Gorman?

Edit: noticed someone already mentioned the Important Astrology Experiment

yes it is 2014 I have my tickets for Stafford - he has stated that he isn't touring for 12 months so he has original things for the show.
a second series would be good but if there is one expect it not to be until 2015 after his tour.

As i've said earlier in the thread it must take an amazing amount of research to complie the show.

That was the point of it. He did what his horoscope said to, his brother didn't. Horoscopes rely on the idea your future is based upon when you are born. His twin brother was (obviously) born the same day. If Horoscopes mean anything at all, he should have done better over the period than his brother, who wasn't getting the 'advice' from the horoscope.

As it turns out, he didn't. Amazing, I know

Loved the found poem this week.

Yes of course, I'd forgotten his twin wasn't following the experiment. I'd got it into my head it was just Dave on it following his horoscope and his brother was on as a guest a couple of times oops It was over 10 years ago though I have slept since then!

I absolutely love this show - a definite highlight of the week! I'm not too sure that Dave G would do a second series though - he seems like he would want to do something different (which would probably be just as good as everything else he's done!)

I am missing his Sunday morning radio show (even though it has been over a year!). I never listened to the show, but downloaded all the podcasts - that's where I first heard the Found Poetry. Pun Street was a work of genius

I can't help hearing Dave saying 'Everybody knows Badger loves mashed potato' and 'Poor Kate, Poor Kate, its all going wrong for poor little Kate' in my head now

The poems are good but each week at 2/3 through he corpses and for me it doesn't seem natural.

Watched him for the first time last night and switched off. Droning on endlessly about dishwasher tablets? What am I missing?

A sense of humour that meshes with Dave Gorman's. I have yet to find a comedian that everyone finds funny.

Mrs Gorman certainly pulls her weight as far as providing material is concerned!

Good series - Well done Dave. Embarrassing the main channels again.

I think her finest moment was the remark she made after Dave sent that photo to the lookalike agency:

'Ooh, he does look like you, doesn't he?'

I burst out laughing at the washing powerball bit where he filmed himself opening up a ball and said "It's a f**king Smartie"

Loved the bit of the poem "Hence the expression, 'cow-beef'".

I found myself Googling "Finish Powerball Smartie" before he'd revealed it was a lie
