Daniel Sloss: X

Like her shows on Netflix, it impressed me again. A comedian who makes good use of dark humor. During his show, laughter, sadness, surprise, etc. you feel your emotions. This is not a show you will just laugh and forget. A catchy and must-watch show. If you turned it off after watching it for the first 30 minutes, you have lost a lot. I highly recommend it.

Obviously this not your standard comedy special, but that is the beauty of it. Daniel Sloss has very clearly established this unique style in his three comedy specials, and there is no doubt he cares deeply about explaining why you can and should try and find humor in life's most difficult moments. I absolutely love his style of comedy, and for me he is right up there with CK, Gervais, Burr, Jeffries.

I never thought I'll find an another comedian that I will just ADORE. Ricky Gervais set a very high standard for me. Daniel Sloss, however, is right up there next to Ricky, being one of my now two favorite comedians. Everything, from the subjects Daniel chooses to the way he approaches them, his morbidly funny dark sense of humor (I've been lacking this with Ricky because, despite the fact the his soh is indeed dark, it is not at the same level of harshness and is not as aggressively dark as the one in my - and apparently Daniel's - head is) and how he uses his shows not only for comedy but also to talk about really important issues (as he said in this one "I finish my shows with a sad 15 minutes TED talk), I am just absolutely amazed and mesmerised. What a fine comedian. And what an extraordinary feeling when you resonate with someone on such a high level and you suddenly feel like being such a sometimes inadequate jerk and moron is ok-ay!

I did see an article where the comic thought this special would cancel him. There are plenty of laughs throughout. I think it was a bit too long clocking in at 88 minutes but it wasn't boring.

This is probably one of the best approaches to discussing some of these topics that I've seen. That's not to say... most people that would be triggered instead of discussing will probably watch 30 minutes of this special and turn it off before the meat of the special comes.

It'll be interesting to see where this guy takes his career. I'll be paying attention.

DS manages to tackle a difficult topic sensitively and respectfully whilst also delivering a strong message to everyone out there. I can't wait to see where he goes from here.
