Best Known For:
Travelling the world meeting other people called Dave Gorman.
Early-life:
David James Gorman was born in Stafford on March 3, 1971. He has a twin brother, Nick. Dave studied maths at Staffordshire University, but dropped out in order to perform stage comedy. He became a popular attraction at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, but found his niche when he made the transition from traditional stand-up to a more innovative, investigative medium. One of his early shows was based entirely on the lyrics to Ian Dury's song, Reasons to be Cheerful. Dave shot to fame when he accepted a bet by his roommate Danny Wallace that he could not find 54 people with the name Dave Gorman. It formed the basis of a phenomenally successful stage and TV show.
Career:
Gorman followed up his breakthrough success with other similarly zany projects. His astrology experiment saw him living his life entirely at the whim of his horoscopes, while his googlewhack adventure saw him travelling the world to meet people whose websites possessed the mysterious "googlewhack" - returning just one search result on the website Google. In 2003, he was listed as one of the 50 funniest comedy acts in The Observer, and he is a regular performer on Radio 4. He also regularly appeared on the BBC Three show Rob Brydon's Annually Retentive, and presents a TV version of his own radio show, Genius. He continues to tour as a stand-up comic.
Quote:
"Live gigs are the best thing in the world. But I do really enjoy the behind-the-scenes stuff, the editing etc involved with TV. But as much as I enjoy those things, I still prefer the live gigs."
Trivia:
Gorman supports Liverpool FC.
