Gorman himself is a very endearing character, an observational comic with a great deal of his material streamed from the internet. Tonight he introduces a new format, (and soon to be tour), involving PowerPoint as an aide. It works.

All in all, a great night, in a great setting, curated by a man with more strings to his bow than you could imagine.
