Dave Gorman’s Googlewhack Adventure

After multiple failed attempts to see this, Rob persuaded us to go last Friday to see his standup comedy show.


From Wikipedia:
A Googlewhack is a query consisting of two words (with no quote marks) entered into
Google's search page that returns a single result. Googlewhacking is the pastime of finding such a result. A person attempting to find Googlewhacks is known as a Googlewhacker.

In short Dave found out about Googlewhacking through a complete stranger that Googlewhacked to his website. Dave then started looking for Googlewhacks and found one which happened to belong to another Dave Gorman (see
Are You Dave Gorman?). Dave (the new Dave) then found another Googlewhack and challenged Dave (the original Dave) to meet the person he’d just Googlewhacked and for that person to find another Googlewhack, and to repeat this chain 10 times before his 32nd birthday.

The show depicts the results and how successful he was. It also includes some ridiculous travel as Dave wouldn’t know where his next Googlewhack would take him.
