A large screen, a remote control and a laptop packed with PowerPoint presentations. Armed with these tools, compelling funnyman Dave Gorman kicks off this second series with scoffing remarks about internet-age paranoia, banalised cliches, tacky gossip rags, Google Street View, Snappy Snaps and lots of meta stuff about how he created this very routine. It's a sort of cutting-edge anecdotal documentary-slash-standup hybrid, with Gorman offering genius gags aplenty.

Comedian Dave Gorman has become the latest high-profile performer to boycott venues run by Ambassador Theatre Group because of its "unreasonable" booking fees.
Matthew Hemley, The Stage, 25th October 2013Dave Gorman boycotts venues due to booking fees
There are two places on this particular tour where venues did want the show but it hasn't worked out for another reason. Those venues are in Glasgow and in Oxford. In both cases I've said no to doing the show there because the venues concerned charge punters booking fees etc that I think are unreasonable.
Dave Gorman, 16th October 2013The pedant's pedant, Dave Gorman, continues to convey his incredulity at the modern world. This week, he shouts about reviews for dishwasher tablets and surveys conducted to discover the amount of women that agree they have achieved voluptuous lips from using certain lipsticks. There are moments of amusement but also moments already touched upon by other comics, Adam Buxton's BUG show springing immediately to mind. Still, there are laughs to be had.

It couldn't have panned out the way it did if we'd had lawyers demanding scripts in advance. Weirdly, it's the fact that they accepted the idea of honing the stuff live - and without a paper trail of words for them to stay on top of - that meant tonight's show was able to contain the surprise it does.
