Dave Gorman Brings His New Tour To Edinburgh Playhouse This Week

Funny man Dave Gorman comes to Edinburgh Playhouse this week as part of his With Great Powerpoint Comes Great Responsibilitypoint tour.

It was announced in June that the upcoming (already largely sold out) tour has been extended for a second time with 19 new shows added in early 2019.

Starting this September and now playing 61 shows at some of the biggest theatres in the country, including Edinburgh Playhouse on Sunday 9 September, this tour will see Dave combine his unique and critically acclaimed style of stand-up and visual story-telling.

As the title suggests, Dave is bringing his laptop and projector screen with him so expect the 'King of Powerpoint comedy' (The Guardian) to have more detailed analysis of those parts of life you've never stopped to think about before. Hey, not all heroes wear capes.

Ratings and critical hit, Dave Gorman Modern Life Is Goodish returned to Dave in 2018 for a fifth series - attracting a peak of 1.5 million viewers and regularly receiving a total audience of over a million per episode, the show is one of UKTV and Dave's (the channel) most successful original commissions.

This will be Dave Gorman's first new live tour show in four years and follows on from Dave Gorman Gets Straight To The Point* (*The Power Point). A two-time extended sell-out UK nationwide tour, it saw Dave sell out four shows at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall, as well as the Hammersmith Apollo, and take the show to New York for a ten-night run off-Broadway.
