Daniel Sloss

With an ironic Bieber-style flick of the hair and possessing the confidence to match, Sloss manages to win over the audience with a relatable and personal account of ‘his generation.’

The routine presents a typical Edinburgher lad’s view of life, intersected with some cringe-worthy anecdotes about living in Fife which, holding true to its stereotype, provides plenty of incestual, paedophilic material. Cheekily told with a confident swagger, the only thing that lets the routine down slightly is the rather generic quips at some all-too-easy targets including that infamous bald bouncer outside Cabaret Voltaire (good luck trying to get back in there Sloss!)

The routine covers everything that our generation loves to bitch, moan and laugh at, and this is exactly why Sloss remains so likeable and current throughout his performance: his comedy is like listening to a really funny mate down the pub recounting the events of last night, even though you’re paying him to do so!

Between heading to the bar after the show for "a hug or more, so long as you feel you get your money’s worth" and getting his warm-up act, Davie Connor, on stage for a round of 'unicorn wars', you can’t help but love him. For Sloss, who clearly loves doing what he does, it is certainly all fun and games on stage (at least until someone loses an eye) and the audience can’t help but feel a connection to his down-to-earth style.

The fact that someone aged 20 already has to ‘retire’ some jokes - now that he’s learnt to shave properly - is testimony to the success and recognition he has achieved so quickly. Despite self-confessing that he hates getting introduced at parties as ‘the comedian’, if Sloss continues on the way he’s going, it seems unlikely that this introduction will be letting up anytime soon.
