- Here's an early appearance of Dave Gorman on Channel 4's TV Series Packet of Three in 1991. The show featured Frank Skinner (Compere/Stage manager), Jenny Eclair (Kiosk attendant) and Henry Normal (Theatre owner)
"I have turned these comments into, what I like to call, a found poem, which I'd like to perform for you now."
"WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT WAS DAVE GORMAN?
ME. That's who
Because the title said so.
(And I read that before I watched it)"
"Why are you replying to an eight month old comment?"
@@RobRandomVids eh?
@@mrtjm1152 That was my attempt at a found poem, but this might be under the wrong comment as youtube has been acting quite strangely at the moment
@@RobRandomVids I read that in his voice 😅
Wow, I'm not sure I'd have recognized him if nobody had said who it was. I remember this show, and boy does that make me feel old. The basic premise was, a succession of young nervy comics would each spend five minutes dying on their arse. The young Gorman did incredibly well to rouse the audience from their coffins. Not only laughter, but applause! I feared the worse, but he gave a nice little piece there.
I don't recognise him even now, I'm still not convinced it isn't just a different Dave Gorman.
i think this is the first time I've seen him not wearing a checked shirt
You should check out his "making a comedy routine out of a weird dare" era: Are You Dave Gorman, Dave Gorman's Important Astrology Experiment, Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure, etc. Back then he mostly wore T-shirts, but had to stop after ... well, I don't want to spoil Googlewhack Adventure.
He was definately wearing a checked shirt on his Powerpoint to the People tour, but his 'guest' wasn't!
But what we all want to know is......what has that done to the graph?
It's done absolutely nothing for his MPDG but... Did it leave him in the triangle of delight?
"The cardigan king of comedy." If I didn't know that he was talking about Dave Gorman, I would have thought he was talking about Jon Richardson.
Now he's the flannel king of comedy
jesus i remember seeing this all those years ago, either didn't know/or completely forgot it was Dave Gorman !!!
He's come a looong way!
Yes
He looks so young there. You can see and hear it is him, but as I first became aware of him because of Modern Life Is Goodish, it is surreal seeing him from 1991. I'd love to see more.
I don't think he appeared on any other episodes of the show. There were some other comedy programmes that he might have been on, but I haven't got any recordings of them!
This just popped up in my notifications, for some reason - probably because I saw Dave on stage last week - I'd recognise his voice anywhere! He's very funny... and has come a long way since this!!
Wait, TH-cam is tracking what shows you go to?
That little "Alright?" at the start sounds exactly like how he does today!
He was 20 I know but so young.
Anyone else think he looks like a young Neil Buchanan?
That's what I was thinking
one of my favourite shows! along with Absolutely.
Dave Gorman does now compile crosswords.
How PowerPoint saved my career, by Dave Gorman... Additional: only two of them left to do Task Master now, Henry and Jenny Eclair
make that just henry now.
Wow definitely honed his skills over the years
It looks and sounds like James Acaster if he had black hair.
Dave’s much quieter
Watched this and Viva Cabaret every episode. Heartbroken that I taped every one and some a*hole broke into my car and stole all my (basically worthless) possessions while I was moving between accommodation. Likewise all my cassettes of Loose Talk on Radio 1 with the godlike comedians of the day. Lost to posterity but these acts have gone on to great things at least.
Mine just got taped over or chewed up. I vividly remember Armando Iannucci introducing Doop by Doop for some reason.
🤔 he probably made a found poem from these comments...
Strange how some (now very well-known) performers began their TV careers as so-called 'poets'. Not singers or stand-ups, but definitely poets.
Perhaps it was something their agents recommended to give them a unique selling point when looking for bookings. Dave Gorman? Poet? Gosh. I remember Craig Charles was first introduced to us as a Scouse poet. Ainsley Harriott (the chef) started out singing novelty calypsos!
Times have changed. With the internet out of control, everybody thinks they can write, compose, and perform - bypassing all of that boring 'learning your trade in the clubs or getting rejected by 58 publishers for 12 years first' nonsense...
I think a lot of today's TH-cam celebrities would be shocked if they had to take the traditional route to getting noticed.
"Thank you. Next!"
:-)
Fun Fact: Two of the people in this video have been on Taskmaster. Can you guess which ones?
If I had used a longer clip, it would have been three people in the video have appeared on Taskmaster (Series 3,1,15). And for our viewers outside of the UK, we're not talking about the Australian, American, New Zealand, Danish or the Swedish variation.
need full episodes
yes young dave
Barely recognised him without the stubble and flannel shirt, barely recognised frank skinner either, didnt realise he was a ted.
This ia great. Was that a rockabilly Frank Skinner at the end there? 😂
Yes, and he was a writer for the show as well. See web.archive.org/web/20060917113139/www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/guide/articles/p/packetofthree_7775055.shtml for more info.
@@LarryDors Thanks! I'd never heard of the show before yesterday. Wilm definitely investigate further!
Looked like a ted
Awh how cute is he here!
Wow how young?!
He was 19/20
He sure does look like a Mathematics undergrad
Ah, but he dropped out after a year to do stand-up. 😉
What no beard? Oh right, this is way before Austin TX lol
I refuse to believe that is Dave Gorman.
got any of frank skinner on this show?
Frank Skinner is at the end briefly.
I see Dave loved crosswords even then.
Dave Gorman wasn't bad looking back then. I wonder what he would look like without his facial hair now? Although I reckon the poetry might put a few people off, I know I've never liked his poetry.
Easily the youngest I've ever seen him...
1:43 - Should have followed that with "Then, another day, I thought I was in Hell. But I wasn't. I was in... Yeah you got there first. What's the point?"
Hi dave
Ahh - must have influenced Tim Key!
Tim would have been 15 at this time, so maybe!
@@LarryDors
Belter!
Tim Key is brilliant as well - might be sitting in the audience there!
So Dave has pretty much always been cute and funny, just far less confident.
And 31 years younger in this clip!
Doesnt sound or look at all like the Dave Gorman I know
Dave Gorman, unfunny for at least 32 years.
I'm always amazed by idiots like you who waste their own time
how long has it been in your case?
