David James Gorman (born March 2, 1971) in Waterlooville, Hampshire. He is an author, documentary comedian and humourist. He performs comedy shows on stage in which he tells stories of extreme adventures and presents the evidence to the audience in order to prove to them that, unlike in most other stage presentations, they are true stories. He is a former stand-up comedian.
Dave Gorman (born April 8, 1955 in Oshawa, Ontario) is a retired professional ice hockey player who played 260 games in the World Hockey Association and 3 games in the National Hockey League. He played for the Birmingham Bulls, Atlanta Flames, and Phoenix Roadrunners.
Dave Gorman and Danny Wallace had a bet that Dave couldn't meet 54 of his namesakes (1 for every card in the deck including the jokers). It all got out of hand and they ended up travelling tens of thousands of miles around the world with Daves credit card and Danny's video camera to complete the task. Only after the event, with the help of the home video footage was the journey turned in to this TV series. Written by Anonymous
