Broadcast details First broadcast Monday 8th November 2004 on Channel 4 Episode length 115 minutes All previous repeats The set-up: There are not many performers who can claim to have created a new genre of live comedy. In fact, if you constructed a pie chart dividing comedians into gagsmiths and inventors of docucomedy – shows based on ridiculous pseudo-scientific quests – Dave Gorman would arguably have the latter slice to himself. In the late 90s, the Staffordshire-born standup made a splash with Are You Dave Gorman? – in which he travelled the world trying to find namesakes. Around the same time, Tony Hawks dragged a fridge around Ireland for a wager, but it was Gorman who popularised the idea of telling his stories on stage, complete with PowerPoint presentation and obligatory aforementioned pie charts. Since then, Tim FitzHigham has attempted to sail to France in a bath, Richard Herring has updated the 12 Labours of Hercules and "Gormanesque" has become journalistic shorthand for umpteen Edinburgh festival fringe gigs based on ludicrous follies utilising a pointer and a MacBook. Apple must love Gorman. I… I hate it. I can’t wait, because I’ve got two more shows to make for this series at the moment… and I can’t wait to get the final two poems done. Because then, I’m free. And I won’t look at the comments section for months. Because… it’s poison. You start thinking like one of them. Every now and then, I’m sitting there, reading them, going, [Huffs] “I’m gonna have my say!” And I almost go to type a comment of my own, and then realise, there is absolutely zero point. But obviously a lot of the show does spring from online stuff and that experience of the world, and it means, actually, those things which are not that – being out in a cab, driving it around London – have this really odd freshness to them. And, suddenly, the jeopardy can be more real to people. Because there’s an inherent safety to anything that’s experienced behind a computer screen.
