Dave Gorman (II)

Preview: Dave Gorman's Power Point Presentation

Hard to believe it's been eight years since Dave Gorman last graced the Fringe with his unique brand of documentary humour.

Interview - Dave Gorman's Power Point Presentation

Latest show based on finding and playing obscure and unique games.

Perhaps the most interesting thing about this show is that the unbroadcast pilot has been made available online.

The Matt Lucas Awards is a TV version of the BBC Radio 2 show And the Winner Is... in which the Little Britain star presents the Lucas Awards to unusual categories, the nominations being decided by three celebrity guests. The BBC decided that the pilot was so good that they've commissioned a full series and have released the pilot on their comedy website.

The first episode featured Dave Gorman, Ruby Wax and Jack Whitehall as guests suggesting nominations for the Lucas Awards for "Most Incomprehensible British Accent", "The Guest with The Most Useless Talent" and "Worst Song by an Otherwise Reputable Artist". Out of the guests, for me it was Wax who was funniest, especially with her ability to memories 400 different camp songs, and her attempt to call Blue's Anthony Costa on Whitehall's mobile phone.

I also enjoyed what Lucas and his house band, David Arnold and The Available Session Musicians, referred to as the "excruciating theme tune", which for me wasn't excruciating at all, but rather jolly.

Overall, it's clear to see why the BBC felt comfortable putting this pilot out - whether or not they will put the pilot on the TV before the series goes out is another matter.

Dave On Dave Action

The stand-up show I filmed in Birmingham in February goes out this week. It was a really fun live show and I think they've done a grand job in the edit. I hope you can watch it...

Video: Comedian Dave Gorman plays funny games

Stand up comedian Dave Gorman talks to BBC Breakfast about his recent comedy adventure that took him around the UK.

He and fellow comedian Danny Wallace are known for their whimsical ideas that take them to strange places to film comedy programmes.

Gorman explained all to Breakfast's Bill Turnbull and Sian Williams.

King of Twitter and insurance salesman Chris Addison splits the tvBite office. Features Editor Steve refuses to follow his "middle-class mumbling" on Twitter. Other people are amorously attracted to his angel-faced charm, while our Editor can forgive him everything because he's in The Thick Of It.

Here he does his very-good-but-not-excellent stand-up, making a point of referencing Manchester a couple of times in order to remind viewers that they're not watching Live At The Apollo, they're watching Dave where comedians play their home towns. As Dave Gorman told us recently, "I didn't even know that was part of the deal until I'd signed up because they'd booked me into a theatre in Birmingham and I come from Stafford." Still, it's something on Freeview that's new, good and not on BBC.

Dave Gorman: The Libel Reform Bill

It's about making the system fairer for all. At the moment the UK libel laws allow rich people to bully poor people. If you write a blog or post on a forum you should be in support of Libel Reform.
