Daniel Sloss: Live Shows (Season 1)

Daniel Sloss: Live Shows (2018) is a two-part stand-up special from Scottish comedian Daniel Sloss — stream it online on iFILM.

The first set, Dark, goes somewhere most comics won't: mortality, grief, and the specific shape of loss in a family. The second, Jigsaw, lays out his theory on why people fill a gap in themselves with a relationship and call it love. After it landed on Netflix, audiences reportedly sent him messages about thousands of breakups the special triggered — apparently his argument was hard to argue with. Sloss operates in the space where a punchline is also a gut punch, and neither one softens the other.
