Daniel Sloss: Now

All you need to know about Daniel Sloss is that he walks onstage to the POD song Boom. The comedian has been leaning more into his cocky, arrogant schtick over the last three years and in Now it starts to wear a bit thin.

The question that Sloss wants to answer this time around, "Is he a sociopath?" A quiz that he took when he was nine says yes, his opinions about orange juice with pulp says no.

The show has a really strong start as Sloss lays down the groundwork for his ultimate conundrum and a really strong finish where he details a possibly repressed but definitely hilarious childhood trauma that could have led to his sociopathy.

It's in the middle where things go a bit wonky, Sloss bloody loves saying shocking things (it's obvious by the little smirk that appears on his face every time he scores a gasp-laugh from the audience) but shocking things become boring things by his third explanation of why a section of society should die because he disagrees with them.

At a running time of 70 minutes, Now would benefit from some serious trimming, perhaps then Sloss wouldn't come off as a 13-year-old trying to impress his mates with how edgy he is.
