Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure

Product Information

Whilst there's a whole heap of other incidents described in the book that haven't made it to the stage show, every minute of this two hour tale will have you roaring with laughter (unless you just don't have a sense of humour), and after watching it you'll want to do nothing beyond watching it again.

Dave is supposed to be writing a novel but gets distracted when he discovers “google whacking” - the art of finding word combos that generate only one hit on Google.Since then, Tim FitzHigham has attempted to sail to France in a bath, Richard Herring has updated the 12 Labours of Hercules and "Gormanesque" has become journalistic shorthand for umpteen Edinburgh festival fringe gigs based on ludicrous follies utilising a pointer and a MacBook. He has everyone he finds play twice so that if one branch of the chain fizzles out, he can try pursuing the others rather than starting from Googlewhack One. Tony Hawkes, an author I found when I was in London back in 2003, all his books where about stupid bar bets and where he traveled and what he did to complete them. Gorman is an accomplished comic – his last tour was more conventional, though still used PowerPoint – but there are few quotable lines to amuse your pub mates here.

It's a simple tale of how co-incidence and work avoidance affect a man with a competitive streak that may need a little more controlling, struggling to mature from his reckless youth, but now egged on by 'friends' who maybe ought to have known better finds himself once more travelling the world over to win a stupid bet. But he soon finds himself embroiled in a new challenge when a googlewhack takes him to someone he already knows, one of the 54 other Dave Gormen he met on a previous challenge. Each person is only allowed to find two Googlewhacks, and Gorman must complete the challenge before his 32nd birthday.If you are in the North America, look out for US/Canadian flag icons on popular product listings for direct links.
