About this product

Product Information

Another hi-octane, pointless adventure from 'the Bill Bryson of stand-up' If someone called you a 'googlewhack' what would you do? Would you end up playing table tennis with a nine year-old boy in Boston? Would you find yourself in Los Angeles wrangling snakes, or would you go to China to be licked by a performance artist?If your name is Dave Gorman, then all of these things could be true.Fuelled by a lust for life and a desperate desire to do anything except what he's supposed to be doing (writing that novel and growing up), Dave falls under the spell of an obscure internet word game - Googlewhacking. Addicted to the game, and gripped by obsession, Dave travels three times round the world, visiting four continents and the unlikeliest cast of real life eccentrics you'll ever meet in what becomes an epic challenge, a life-changing, globe-trotting Googlewhack adventure.

    It's compelling first because it's funny, in so many different ways I could only tell you "read it and see!" You can well believe that Dave Gorman has made his reputation writing comedy scripts and standup performances. Secondly because Dave's adventures are so extraordinary, it's hard to believe they're true. But no one could have made it up. Added to which he's got photos to support the narrative
