News Dave Gorman's Googlewhack! Adventure Going Worldwide to Los Angeles and Toronto The worldwide web-based one-man show, Dave Gorman’s Googlewhack! Adventure, which played Off-Broadway earlier this year, heads next to Los Angeles and Toronto.

The new work from the creator of Are You Dave Gorman? plays at UCLA's Macgowan Little Theater March 23-April 10 then The HarbourFront Centre April 14-17.

In Are You Dave Gorman?, the namesake performer tracked down and met with other Dave Gormans and relayed his experiences. His latest premise-based memoir project has the obsessee tracking down and meeting with the authors of Googlewhack webpages. (For the technologically lost, a Googlewhack is the result of entering two words into Google's search engine and only connecting with one link.)

Gorman retells his adventures in finding these web anomalies from "playing table tennis with a 9-year-old in a Boston basement" to winding up "in L.A. with three snakes on your head." Examples of the one-time Googlewhacks included in the show's materials — unicyclist/periscopes, dork/turnspit or pomegranate/filibusters — ironically, no longer fit the category as many return a number of websites that mention this very show.

Googlewhack! premiered at the Melbourne Comedy Festival and was nominated for a Barry Humphries Award. The show broke records at the Sydney Opera House, sold out at the Edinburgh Festival and on a 73-date UK tour. Googlewhack! also earned Gorman the 2004 HBO US Comedy Festival Jury Award for Best One Person Show for a second time, following his win for Are You Dave Gorman? The show's book was published in January and spent nine weeks at number one on The Sunday (London) Times Best Sellers List.
