A book about my American roadtrip, travelling coast to coast while trying to avoid all chains.
No Mobil, no Esso, no Shell. No McDonalds, no Wendys, no Starbucks. No Best Western, no Travelodge, no Comfort Suites.
That was the idea anyway.
Or is it a book about making a documentary movie about a roadtrip? Or is it both?
"Fans of the comedian will love this bonkers journey and those who are new to his brand of humour will be pleasantly surprised." The Daily Express
A feature length documentary about an American roadtrip. Can you travel from one coast of the USA to the other without giving any money to The Man?
More to the point... can I?

Audience Award for Best Documentary Feature at the Austin Film Festival
"For all its playfulness, this turned out to be an important programme with a serious point to make." The Daily Telegraph
All 6 episodes of the world-travelling, namesake hunting nonsense that was my first TV series. Don't I look young?
As with the Googlewhack DVD there's a special song and video as an extra... this time it's by Misty's Big Adventure. They're fab.
Made in 2000. First shown in 2001. Rushed on to the DVD market in... oh... 2007.
It's multi-region - so it should play everywhere.
My most succesful live show to date is now my first ever live DVD. The show that started at the Melbourne Comedy Festival, made it to the Sydney Opera House and played a 3 month run off-Broadway was recorded specially for DVD... live in Swansea.
There are loads of extras but I really like the song by Helen Love with a video by Rob Manuel and, of course, the egg timer!
The book about what happened when I failed to write a book.
"...unlike other recent, bestselling and heartless examples of the genre, Gorman's comedy is the result of a rather old-fashioned and grand style of thinking... It's enough to bring a lump to the throat and a tear to the eye. It's like the war in reverse." The Guardian.
All 6 episodes of the second series of Radio 4's Genius on three CDs.
What did Johnny Vegas make of the Science of Opposites? Did Carol Vorderman like Fizzy Bovril? Is that really Brian Sewell reading Thomas the Tank Engine? What will

My first proper book. The full story told from two points of view. According to the Independent it's a magnificent tale of obsession and adventure. So now you know.
All 5 episodes of the first series of Radio 4's Genius on two CDs.
Want to hear what Stewart Lee thought of a microwave mp3 player? What did Richard Madeley make of breeding mini-elephants as pets?

Host: Dave Gorman
Guests: Paul Daniels, Richard Madeley, John Fortune, Neil Innes, Stewart Lee

Are you Dutch? Do you speak Dutch? Read Dutch? If you've answered yes to any of these questions (especially the last one) this might be the book for you. It's in Dutch.
'Ken je nog iemand die Dave Gorman heet?'
Mostly the same words. But with a very different cover. I love this cover.
Written in silence and read outloud by yours truly.
(Note: this isn't a recording of the show, you'll want the DVD for that... it's me, reading an abridged version of the book)
Like the Canadian edition this is pretty much the same words but in a very different cover. I know it doesn't look like a very different cover but if you tap the screen you'll see it's a hardback. Yeah, I know... like a proper book. Click to buy
Words must be much longer in Germany. This edition of Are You Dave Gorman? is 130 pages longer than the English original.
