Francophile Namesakes

If you like comedy and you use the internet (or more specifically Google) then you owe it to yourself to check out Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure live show. I know it's out in the UK on DVD but I haven't done any research on whether it was released anywhere else. Ok, I'm lazy. Sue me for it. Try using Amazon or something

It's a two hour tour de force of sheer passion and drive, ably backed by a story that becomes all the more engrossing as you realise just what he's been through. It's not stand-up, per se, but he is standing up and there are no real jokes, yet it is seriously funny. Also, unusually for something like this, it's actually quite gripping and edge of the seat stuff.

For that reason I'm not giving away any of the story other than the fact it's based on a drunken bet on Googlewhacks - the finding of two word Google searches that return one single page.

The extras are really rather excellent. White rabbit style "follow the Dave" with extra info, out-takes, ad libs, a picture gallery with a painfully funny but dry commentary and a pop video made by Rob Manuel from B3ta.com with the band Helen Love.

Funny, warm and very human - this Carpathian advises at least one viewing. Trust me, when various expletives pour from his mouth you'll already be hooked and most likely thinking exactly the same..........
