Daniel Sloss

The young Scottish funnyman shocks again

on his 10th solo tour, Now

Charming, brutal and poignant, Scottish comedian Daniel

Sloss has made a career out of uncomfortable humor: From tax

rates on tampons to his Tinder history, he touches on subjects

most wouldn’t even dare to think of.

Currently on his 10th solo show Now, his latest skits take aim

at his sister’s cerebral palsy, takes aim at sexual equality and

recounts his ever-popular anecdotes about his parents.

Initially a protégé of fellow Scottish funnyman and master of

shock and awe Frankie Boyle, Sloss has had a stellar career from

a young age, writing for the BBC’s Mock the Week at 14, per-

forming solo at 16, debuting at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival a

year later and becoming the youngest comedian to appear on

Conan O’Brien, returning an unprecedented 6 times. At 22, he

delivered a notable Tedx talk about storytelling, offering some

insights on the nature of shock comedy: “No comedian wants to

offend you, our job is to make you laugh and make you want to

sleep with us.”

Now 27, Sloss radiates colossal self-confidence, having ma-

tured into a darker style and added explicit sexual comedy to his

old repertoire of family jokes. His rapid-fire delivery barely

leaves him time to breathe as he tackles the inherent absurdi-

ties of modern life and channels them into a night’s amusement.
