Daniel Sloss isn’t your typical comedian. Sure, he’ll spin a joke that will leave you in splits; but beneath the surface lurks his natural Scottish wit that tackles complex themes. Switching from a monologue about his hate for pulp in orange juice one moment, to dismantling politics and racism the next, Sloss’ sets play out like a sugar-coated grenade launched right at you, through a pinball machine. Known for his unfiltered, bold and poignant observational comedy that might make some go, “Did he just say that?”, the comedian makes his way to the city for his second performance this weekend as part of the Daniel Sloss – Can’t tour organised by city-based pop culture venture DeadAnt’s new project, The Loop.
“I promise that I will include an India show in every tour that I set out on,” were Sloss’ words on a podcast in 2023 following his debut tour of India. Those who have been following the comedian might have shrugged it off as the comedian blurting out one of his unfiltered and impulsive thoughts, as he often does, quite animatedly on stage. Over an email conversation with us, Sloss explains, “I knew there was a comedy scene brewing in India, thanks to all the messages I would receive from fans; almost threatening me to perform there.” He adds, “I had no idea how big it was and for how long it had existed. When I was there last year and saw it for myself, my first reaction was, ‘Why have I not been performing here for years?’ I felt like an idiot.”
