Dave Gorman’s recent comedy has concentrated on real stories (Googlewhack, Are You Dave Gorman?, America Unchained) but his current tour sees a welcome return to traditional stand-up and is a reminder that intellectualism can still deliver laughs. The aforementioned shows saw him concentrate on bets and pranks for his material despite it being obvious that Gorman is an intelligent man. In this show adulthood steps in to push the inner child aside as Gorman knows as an adult, he should act as one to gain the respect of his peers. This of course proves a promise that is impossible to keep. Gorman’s storytelling ranges from mild and courteous to intense and angry, culminating in the rage pouring out to hilarious effect. Laughter coursed through the audience like blood pumps through his veins. At well over two hours of stage time he offered outstanding value. Gorman will make you laugh to the point of crying. Crying will make your stomach hurt and what is pain if not a constant tickle?
