Daniel Sloss is never one to hold back – especially when the topic is near to his heart. “Comedy should offend people,” the Scottish provocateur argues. “That’s what sets people apart from other art forms. It is the unique thing to cut and offend in the moment. Comedy is one...

No use crying over hot takes - Sloss sets his sights on the bellyaching of comedians not being able to say"anything" Daniel Sloss is never one to hold back – especially when the topic is near to his heart.

“Then, I’m also talking about fatherhood,” Sloss continues, slowing his cadence a bit. “I became a Dad two years ago. I’m a big boy piece of shit now!” He continues, giving a quick recap of his story so far. “Obviously your career changes every couple of years if something new happens. The first five years of my career, I was just doingand got a couple of Netflix specials and the HBO stuff, and that all pushes you out to a wider audience.

"You’ve just got to write a few stupid jokes - anything that’s not important and is some old school stand up because I’m a purist. That’s the comedy I grew up watching, and that’s the kind I want to do. Its very important to have that in there because as much as my fans will come to see me talk about more controversial issues and delicately handle them at points and not so in other points.

Sloss continues, highlighting his efforts to resist being hacky. “My way of doing that is because of the material I’ve done in the past, I know that the demographic of my audience is mostly left leaning, mostly women, and mostly late 20s or early 30s. So my job is to provoke those people. My job is not to go on stage to a room and make fun of Republicans to a room that already hates Republicans. My job is to go on and challenge people in that fucking room.

"But you want to talk about real actual cancelations that have happened in the history of comedy? Shane Gillis was a real cancelation, I would say. That was a group of people deciding they were gonna go through oodles of podcast history ... they successfully got a mob together and made him lose the SNL job. Now at this moment in time Shane is arguably the best comedian working right now in my opinion. I think Beautiful Dogs was easily the best special to come out last year.
