PowerPoint king is back with bite.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 27th November 2018Dave Gorman review
Exquisitely constructed show gives purpose to the pettifogging.
Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard, 6th November 2018Dave Gorman review
The comic is on solid form as he deploys graphs, data and ruthless over-thinking to rage against life's tiny details.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 1st November 2018Dave Gorman: 'Why I've given up London for Bournemouth'
He's a comedian known for his rather geeky affection for statistics and his love of London.
But even comedians can change and Dave Gorman has left the capital to pursue his new love... Bournemouth.
The star of such shows as Are You Dave Gorman? and Modern Life Is Goodish has fallen head over heels for the south coast.
And in his new show he's using some of his famous Power Point Presentations to explain why. This is his love letter to the Dorset town.
BBC, 20th October 2018Comedy review: Dave Gorman at the Brighton Dome
The king of high-concept stand-up has dropped the big ideas -- and he has never been more enjoyable.
Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 2nd October 2018Review: Dave Gorman
Long-running TV series often end in a feature-length special, so Dave Gorman's latest tour could well be seen as an elongated swansong for Modern Life Is Goodish, with the Prince Of Pedants offering 90 minutes of methodically forensic observational comedy in the same format that's entertained viewers these past five years.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 1st October 2018Dave Gorman review
The show is enjoyable, it is fun, it engages the grey cells without taxing them, and it is a safe pair of hands for signature comedy in a live arena. And has a most memorable giraffe joke in it.
Victoria Nangle, The Latest, 1st October 2018Review: Dave Gorman, Playhouse Theatre, Edinburgh
As consistently good as Dave Gorman's television show Modern Life is Goodish was, the show's ending after five years has an upside. Gorman has now returned to touring, and With Great Powerpoint Comes Great Responsibilitypoint retains much of the TV show's format, with its investigative analysis of the unexamined everyday and the Powerpoint-style on-screen punchlines he originally developed live.
