In 2003, Gorman toured Britain with a show titled ''Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure'', and published a book of the same name. It is another true story.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2013/sep/13/dave-gorman-googlewhack-adventure-comedy-gold|title=Comedy gold – Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure|author=Bruce Dessau|work=The Guardian|date=13 September 2013 |access-date=29 March 2015|archive-date=2 April 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150402091616/http://www.theguardian.com/stage/2013/sep/13/dave-gorman-googlewhack-adventure-comedy-gold|url-status=live}}</ref> As a result, he believes people took him more seriously and a new novel was commissioned. While trying to write a novel for his publisher, [[Random House]], Gorman became obsessed with [[Googlewhack]]s when someone notified him that his site had one (Francophile Namesakes), and caused him to travel across the world finding people who had authored them (one of whom turned out to be one of the Dave Gormans he had met in his first adventure). He eventually spent his publisher's advance on the quest, without writing any of the promised novel, and had to create the ''Dave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure'' show to pay them back.

This show was premiered at the [[Melbourne International Comedy Festival]] and then went on to sell out for a two-week run at the [[Sydney Opera House]]'s Studio Theatre. It also sold out at the George Square Theatre as part of the [[2003 Edinburgh Festival Fringe]] before embarking on a major UK tour of 75 shows in the space of three months. It won Gorman the award for Best One Person Show at the [[HBO]] [[U.S. Comedy Arts Festival]] in [[Aspen, Colorado]], an award he had previously won for the show ''Are You Dave Gorman?'' He ended up writing a book about his Googlewhack Adventure which went on to be the ''[[The Sunday Times (UK)|Sunday Times]]'' number one best seller. During his Googlewhack adventure, Gorman had a [[nervous breakdown]], which he discusses frankly in the show.

In 2004, a DVD of the ''Googlewhack Adventure'' was released which was filmed at [[Swansea Grand Theatre]]. In 2005, Gorman toured the U.S. and performed his ''Googlewhack'' show in several cities. While in Los Angeles, he appeared on ''[[The Tonight Show]]'', elaborating on his travels and his quest. This tour, in which he stayed at chain motels and experienced corporate America, led him to undertake a road-trip across the U.S. in which he avoided such hotels and corporate petrol stations in favour of family-owned businesses. The road trip was documented as the book and film ''America Unchained''.
