Dave Gorman

David James "Dave" Gorman (born 2 March 1971) is an English comedian, author, and television presenter. He has performed comedy shows on stage in which he tells stories of his extreme adventures and presents the evidence to the audience in order to prove to them that they are true. He was a stand-up comedian before he became famous for Are You Dave Gorman?.

Gorman took a break from stand-up to undertake a sponsored hitchhike around the pacific rim countries. He began and ended this journey in Ucluelet. He returned to stand-up in 2009 with a show called Sit Down, Pedal, Pedal, Stop and Stand Up whose unique feature was that he bicycled 1,563 miles from the southernmost point of Britain to the easternmost to the westernmost and then to the northernmost, with a gig following each night.
