Live Performance Review: Dave Gorman Get's Straight to the Point, Sunday 22.11.2015 20:00, The Alhambra, Dunfermline

This is the fifth time I have seen Mr. Gorman, king of the geeks, perform since 2006 and I have still never been disappointed. I probably would not have gone, due to the travel involved, if it weren't for the fact that I have a friend who was keen to see him.

There was support from a Nick Doody, who was a lot better than an audience has any right to expect from a support act. 

Mr Gorman himself did close to two hours all of which was very enjoyable and geeky. I would say this was not quite as good as the previous tour, though that relates to the material being presented not the delivery. We were treated to two 'Found Poems', just as he did on the last tour and it was lovely to hear him get such a jubilantly joyful response from packed crowd in this more provincial venue than I am used to. 

It was lovely to hear that Mr. Gorman is now a dad. It was even better to hear his response to the audience's cheers, saying along the lines of 'Don't applaud the fact that my cock works, we are not American'.

I had thought of giving this a top rating, though this did not feel quite right. It was a fantastically engaging eve. 

Rating: 9.5/10.
