Tim Lovejoy is off again and Simon Rimmer is on location in Portsmouth so it's Miquita Oliver holding the fort in the studio with guests including the great comedian Dave Gorman.
We haven't seen much of Dave Gorman since before Covid but he has not been idle. He has developed a useful sideline as a crossword compiler and his cryptic clues have been popping up in all sorts of newspapers in recent years.
Gorman might have less time for word games in the future becsuse he is gearing up for a brand new national tour. The man behind Dave TV’s hit show Modern Life Is Goodish as well as Are You Dave Gorman? and Googlewhack Adventure, is back on the road this autumn with a brand-new live show, Dave Gorman: Powerpoint To The People.
The “high priest of the comedy Powerpoint talk” (The Times) is out to demontrate that a powerpoint presentation doesn't have to involve a man in a grey suit standing behind a lectern and saying “next slide please”. We've all had enough of that, so let's put it all behind us and never speak of it again - there are far more important things to analyse. Well... they're more important in Dave's head anyway.
This new show sees Dave continue to combine his unique and critically acclaimed style of stand-up and visual story-telling. His last tour was the critically acclaimed With Great Powerpoint Comes Great Responsibilitypoint which, three-times extended, saw Dave sell out four shows at London’s iconic Royal Festival Hall and the biggest theatres around the UK.
Dave’s live career has seen him sell out multiple tours of the UK, perform three runs off Broadway in New York, tour the USA, and become responsible for the fastest selling show in the history of the Studio Theatre at The Sydney Opera House. Live performances have also earned him the title of Best One Person Show at the HBO US Comedy Arts Festival (twice), as well as nominations for the Edinburgh Comedy Award (Perrier Award), the South Bank Award and two nominations for the prestigious American Drama Desk Award.
The Dave Gorman tour starts on September 10 at high Wycombe's Swan Theatre. Buy tickets for Dave Gorman's tour here.
