Dave Gorman, Alexandra TheatreBirmingham
I first came across Dave Gorman when he did his "Are You Dave Gorman?" TV series and was a fan straight away. I know he had a career before that but that was where I joined the ship. This means that I know him mainly through his "event comedy". I know him through "Are You Dave Gorman?", "Googlewhack Adventure", "America Unchained" and even as the presenter of "Genius" (a program that was much better on the radio than on TV). What I didn't know was whether or not he was going to be any good at stand up comedy, so I went to find out last night.
From the moment that he came on stage, ****** * *******, my concerns were allayed. He **** ** ***** * ****** ** **** **** *** ******* **** ****** **** ****** *** *. *** ******* **** ***** *** *** ***** hilarious ***** ********. ***** **** ** **** *** **** ? ***** *** ***** **** **** * ** **** ***** ** *** ***** **.
The first half continued with Dave ******* **** * ***** ****** ***** *** very funny****** ***, but **** ****** *** ****** *** ***** ** ***** *** ****** **** ***. The whole audience was in hysterics by the time he concluded the half with a lengthy story about *** ******* ****** ** *** *****.
After a twenty minute interval he picked up where he had left off. The nature of the second half was slightly different to the first half. Instead of ******** * *** ** ***** ******* * ******** ** *****, he ***** ** ****** ******** ******* ****** *****. **** **** **** ** *****.
There were references to ***** **** *** ****** ** **** **** *, ***** ** ** ***** *** ***** **** **** *** and a degree of audience participation. It was all ******** *****.
And when it was all over? After a couple more ******* **** ******* ****, he left the stage and then returned for further applause and to issue a simple request, that we reveal nothing about the show so that we can avoid spoiling things for future audiences.
I enjoyed it so much that I am happy to comply.
The bottom line is that he's very funny, the show is very funny and if you liked his event comedy, you'll like this. You should go.
