Product Information

He does remind us that the book only contains his opinions, but i think he still has a lot of work to do to express these without sounding condescending or all-knowing (I'm talking here of course about the parts where he is serious, not when he is obviously sarcastic). Again this comes down to not being a writer - I find the one-hour special the perfect format for him to get his message across with a perfect delivery, but this train-of-thought no ending essay format is too much for him, I find. From such a prolific touring comedian, especially off the crest of the wave that was breaking America quite nicely thank you very much, it's hardly surprising that come the pandemic Daniel Sloss has continued his punk philosophising in a book. This book. Okay so it's kinda baised review since I absolutely love Sloss but this book is worth your time I promise. Sloss is one of my favourite comedians of all times and I think he is really talented and insightful. My favourite thing about his comedy is that it always has a valuable message behind it, which blends extremely well with his really dark humour.

Loneliness is like most things in the world: You have to practice it to get good at it. Sometimes being alone is utter bliss. Once you get used to being alone, relationships really have to go out of their way to interest you. If you want to be in a relationship with me, you have to be better than being single."

As with most comedians who try their hands at book-writing, it's pretty clear that this is not the medium or format for him. I laughed out loud many a time, but just about every single joke would have been better in the stand-up format. I don't think Sloss would disagree with me. It's hardly surprising that it's seamless as Sloss has plundered his shows as a rich content seam here – particularly Jigsaw, Dark, and X. No bad thing considering the acclaim and thought that went into each of them, as well as the hot topics that continue to be relevant. To paraphrase the Legend himself: If you’ve seen Daniel Sloss’s stand-up specials you’ll notice they fall under a very similar format. He tells some jokes and legally fulfills his obligations as a comedian, and then towards the end he does a sad 15 minute TED talk. He talks about serious subjects with a level of maturity only seen in Golden Retrievers.

The lads chapter is discouraging. It’s like he *sees* toxic masculinity, and even uses the term, but he doesn’t really quite have the self awareness to see how his behavior perpetuates it. In another uncomfortable section, he talks about a male friend whom he believes committed sexual assault; this is also a really tough section to listen to because it’s painfully earnest and, to my way of thinking, he draws all the wrong conclusions: he pathologizes this person and makes them into a monster, missing the broader culpability of rape culture. It’s just not a problem Sloss can solve by ostracizing one dude and deciding there was always something funny about him anyway so that’s all dealt with. Politics aside, it seems like something he’s struggling with, and it’s uncomfortable to watch him process it in the context of a banter-y book. One of this generation’s hottest and boldest young comedians presents a transgressive and hilarious analysis of all of our dysfunctional relationships, and attempts to point us in the vague direction of sanity.

read Everyone You Hate Is Going to Die: And Other Comforting Thoughts on Family, Friends, Sex, Love, and More Things That Ruin Your Life He’s brilliant (the c*nt). He knows he doesn’t know everything about everything, and yet he has an amazing ability to take complex thoughts, make you view them from a new perspective, and while he’s at it, pigeon hole at least 7 wank jokes in there just in case you forgot he’s a cheeky knob.

This is a laugh out loud funny book; Sloss’s sense of humor is brutal, and if you enjoy comedians who don’t shy away from darkness, you’ll find a lot to like here. (See for instance, the title, the cover. One of Sloss’s standup specials was about the death of his disabled sister, and another was about a toxic relationship that pushed him to consider suicide. Sloss’s claim to fame is that his comedy has inspired hundreds of couples to break up. Really!! So, y’know… dark!) 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. Which we have all been missing of late, even as shows from two years ago are now setting out their tour dates once again.
