Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure
on DVD
(2004)
Starring: Dave Gorman
Director: Gareth Carrivick
Certificate: 
I loved this! Two hours of Dave Gorman holding a theatre audience spellbound with his description of the challenge he never wanted. A bizarre sequence of events introduces Dave to the concept of the Googlewhack - a situation where using just two words in a Google search produces just one hit. He receives an e-mail saying he himself is a Googlewhack, which pushes over the first unstoppable domino..... His description of the events that follow, which almost force him into meeting a challenge he didn't want, is hilarious. I watched the show twice, which is unusual for me, and I laughed as much the second time. The language gets a bit earthy in places, so it's probably not suitable for a younger audience, but his style and the accompanying graphics are superb. There's one major surprise part-way through (which I won't spoil), and the ending, while not entirely surprising, still had me uncertain up to the last minute. A great piece of theatre.
