After a massive year of live touring, television, his debut DVD release and parties, comes the new stand-up show from comedy’s internationally acclaimed and award-winning half-man-half-Xbox.
Daniel started performing stand-up aged only 16 and has appeared on Michael McIntyre’s Comedy Roadshow, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Rob Brydon Show, Jason Manford’s Comedy Rocks, Comic Relief’s Mock The Week, Paul O’Grady Show (Daniel’s TV debut aged 18), Comedy Store, BBC’s Stand Up For Sport Relief, Set List, Russell Howard’s Good News, as well as starring in his own BBC show, The Adventures Of Daniel (aged just 19). In 2012 he was invited to give a prestigious Tedx talk – a serious yet comedic presentation – this has since become something of an internet sensation for Tedx with an unusually large number of hits.
In August 2008, at just 17, Daniel became one of the youngest-ever finalists in the UK’s premiere national comedy competition So You Think You’re Funny? In 2009 his first-ever solo show, Teenage Kicks, premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe, selling out the run and transferring to London for his debut at the prestigious Soho Theatre whereupon he became the youngest-ever stand-up to perform solo both at the theatre and in the West End. That September he also made his national television debut as the first stand-up to perform on Ch4’s Paul O’Grady Show. In 2010 his new solo Fringe show My Generation also sold out its entire season. His 2011 show The Joker was likewise a total smash-hit,selling out a 4 week run at Assembly’s new 400 seat venue. This show subsequently played to great audiences and acclaim across the UK in a 50 date tour produced by Live Nation after they took him on as their youngest solo comedy client. Similarly his 2012 Fringe show with minimalist title The Show also later toured the UK with over 50 dates.
Daniel has also toured internationally throughout Sweden, Norway, South East Asia and Australia. In 2012 he was invited to perform a solo season at the prestigious Montreal Just For Laughs comedy festival and he has starred at Festivals including Rockness, Latitude and in 2013 Altitude (Comedy & snowboading in Austrian alps alongside John Bishop and Eddie Izzard… Sloss featured in ITV2s doc about this years event)
His debut live stand-up DVD Daniel Sloss – Live! (recorded at Glasgow’s Kings Theatre) was released on 2Entertain in the autumn of 2012 and in 2011 he won Best New Comedian at the Scottish Variety Awards.
Daniel is touring the UK throughout 2013-2014. For tour dates www.livenation.co.uk
