Daniel Sloss: HUBRIS is the all-new, 11th solo show by Scotland’s international comedy superstar. Hot on the heels of his ground-breaking, global smash-hit Daniel Sloss: X, and despite the difficulties that 2020 has presented to not just the performing arts but to the global population, now that there is the possibility to do safe, legal and proper live comedy shows with proper live comedy audiences again, Daniel is delighted to be finally be able to bring HUBRIS to London at the Clapham Grand from 2nd to 5th and then 7th November 2020, for covid-secure and socially distanced shows, which will bring the audience together with humour even as they are physically further apart.
Lauded by the ancient Greeks, hubris is the devastating, dangerous and of course exciting character trait that often led to the hero’s downfall. So, how does one of the world’s hottest stand-ups follow up on a extraordinary show like ‘X’ (dealing with sexual assault), or two Netflix specials (streamed in 190 countries, 26 languages) – ‘DARK’ (about grieving) & ‘Jigsaw’ (credited with over 95,000 breakups and cited in over 200 divorces with fans even bringing their decree nisi’s for him to autograph at shows)? With a phenomenal new show that doesn’t have a theme or a twist or require any trigger warnings. Daniel Sloss: HUBRIS is the next chapter in this Odyssey.
Daniel has sold out six New York solo off-Broadway seasons, appeared on U.S TV’s ‘Conan’ ten times, broken box office records at the world’s biggest arts festival, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, and has to date, toured across an astonishing 50 countries, the most of any comedian working to today. The ‘X’ tour juggernaut spanned the globe with 300 performances across 40 countries – throughout Europe, UK, U.S., Canada, Australia, Hong Kong, Japan and even packing a Moscow arena (becoming Russia’s biggest-ever English language comedy show).
The film of ‘X’ is now showing on HBO in U.S. and Canada and became the first UK comedy special to make its UK premiere in cinemas, with its nationwide release at Vue in 2020, just before Covid-19 shut the world down. His debut book “Everyone You Hate is Going to Die” was also delayed and will now be published in May 2021 on Penguin Random House imprints Knopf and William Heinemann. Due to COVID-19 most of Daniel’s 2020 tour dates had to be moved to 2021, however as venues are being permitted to safely re-open, he has become the first stand-up in the world back touring with indoor shows, playing Covid-secure venues with socially distanced audiences ranging from midscale regional venues to large theatres including the AFAS Live in Amsterdam, with shows selling out as fast as they can be added.
