Dave Gorman : Work In Progress

The show was, in essence, a dry run for Gorman’s television show ‘Modern Life Is Goodish’. Mercifully it wasn’t laden with reams of notes and half thoughts. It was a fully formed show, two in fact, as he airs two shows for the price of a ticket (value for money certainly but be aware, they can be quite lengthy). Where Gorman sets himself apart is how he drills down to the core of a subject, nearly always finding “bulls***”. Of course his trusty companion ‘Powerpoint presentation’ makes an appearance, assisting in picking out the minutiae of (for example) celebrity lifestyles and endorsements. Slick, clever, informative and hugely entertaining.
