He's never been a real "comedian". He's just quite good at making
unusual things seem interesting for a while, with a few chuckles thrown
in along the way.


What's a 'real' comedian?


Someone who sets out to make you laugh primarily. Dave has admitted on
his website that he probably won't go back to doing stand-up and I'd
say that's an indication of his not being a straight belly laugh kind
of guy. He's more normal, more like you and I, though has resources to
get from A to B etc which we probably don't have, plus nerves of
steel!

I think I have probably laughed more at, say, Eddie Izzard or Billy
Connoly in five minutes than I have ever laughed at Dave Gorman's
entire output.

But that's not to say he isn't amusing.
