Okay.
So.
Daniel Sloss is the funniest man on the planet, and I will not hear anything different.
For anyone who isn’t aware, Daniel Sloss is a 30 year old stand up comedian who has been gigging, touring and selling out shows since he was 19.
Dark and Jigsaw are two of those sold out shows, which have become worldwide phenomena after airing as specials on Netflix.
In all honesty it may be hard to talk about them without spoiling bits and pieces so consider this your warning. I’ll do my best to avoid major plot points.
Let’s start with Dark.
According to Sloss, he didn’t want to name the show “Dark” as he doesn’t consider his sense of humour to be so, although he is aware that it is because he’s had enough emailed complaints to know the truth.
And depending on your sensitivities it may be Dark for you.
He covers American stereotypes, religion and death.
And it is funny as f*ck.
Sloss knows the line and knows just how far he can step over it before he completely loses the audience (which has been known to quite literally happen. Watch the show to find out more) and he is the absolute MASTER of timing.
I’ve watched this show a hundred times and it never gets old.
Jigsaw is equally as brilliant but for a completely different reason.
WARNING!
This may be considered a spoiler but it’s too funny not to include so if you want to remain completely in the dark skip down till after the next photo.
Now I won’t tell you why, but if you check Sloss’s twitter bio says “Break ups = 120,000+ Divorces = 300+”.
All of these break ups, cancelled engagements and divorces, were caused by this show.
He has even been asked to sign people's divorce papers.
Watch at your own risk.

Jigsaw is one of my favourite things because while it is funny as all hell, it is also incredibly intelligent, makes you think and tackles some quite important issues including gaslighting, toxic relationships, intrusive thoughts (#relatable) and the ever-increasing threat of Veganism.
In a very twisted, darkly funny and brutally honest way, Jigsaw has taught me that you have to love yourself before you can allow someone else to do it as well. You have to know your value and not let anyone give you less than you deserve in a relationship.
And it taught me to question f*cking everything.
So to summarise.
Be prepared to laugh until you cry and cry until you laugh.
Both will happen.
