Daniel Sloss finds About the Author descriptions wanky and outdated. He would just like you to watch his fucking comedy specials. The publisher, on the other hand, would like you to know that Daniel Sloss is an internationally acclaimed, award-winning Scottish comedian and writer. He has created eleven solo shows, toured them in theatres, music venues, and arenas across fifty countries to rave reviews, and his specials, including X on HBO as well as Dark and Jigsaw, on Netflix, can be seen in a total of 190 countries. Despite the relationship and marital mayhem he has caused, Sloss still believes in love. Sloss was born in 1990 and lives in Scotland, his 'forever home'.
This is the Pandora's Box of self-help books.
*Conan O'Brien*
What a book. Smart, acerbic, and incredibly funny. I suggest you
read it.
*Bob Saget*
The only thing wrong with this book is that at my age everyone I
hate is already dead.
*Peter Bart*
Everyone You Hate... turns out to be a very enjoyable read,
unsurprisingly. Written in the rhythm of a seasoned comedian's set,
there are laughs liberally sprinkled, serious bits with elements of
self-examination, and the impression that each carefully placed
word has simply come to him in conversation. Just like any good
Edinburgh show.
*Beyond The Joke*
Sloss offers insights on toxic masculinity, gender and sexuality
that are at once deliciously dark, hilarious and profound.
*Daily Record*
His bits teem with curse words, wicked daydreams...But the
slapstick is a preamble: Sloss's signature move is a pivot to
vulnerability.
*The New Yorker*
He tells jokes that are transgressive, that are shocking, that are
dark enough to emphasize that he's not some kind of pious, soggy,
joyless hector.
*The Atlantic*
[Sloss is] dirty, sweet and clever.
*The New York Times*
When I was told that Daniel Sloss had written a book, I was
immensely interested since I'd resented him already by watching his
standup specials - for his quick wit and free-associative
irreverent style that I thought I'd originated. Spoiler alert:
Don't be disappointed if, by reading this book, everyone you hate
doesn't die, but what a title. And what a book. It's smart,
acerbic, and incredibly funny. I suggest you read it. And anything
else Daniel sends our way. He's a very special comic mind and one
that is a gift to those of us who need to hear from our best,
hilarious, demented, smart friend.
