The Publisher Writes
From one of today’s hottest young comedians, a transgressive and hilarious deep dive into his favorite subject: relationships.
Daniel Sloss’s stand-up comedy engages, enrages, offends, unsettles, educates, comforts, and gets audiences roaring with laughter – all at the same time. In his ground-breaking specials, seen on Netflix and HBO, he has brilliantly tackled everything from male toxicity and friendship to love, romance, and marriage – and claims (with the data to back it up) that his on-stage laser-like dissection of relationships has single-handedly caused around 300 divorces and 120,000 breakups.
Now, in his first book, he picks up where his specials left off, and goes after every conceivable kind of relationship—with one’s country (Sloss’s is Scotland); with America; with lovers, ex-lovers, ex-lovers who you hate, ex-lovers who hate you; with parents; with best friends (male and female), not-best friends; with children; with siblings; and even with the global pandemic and our own mortality. In Everyone You Hate Is Going to Die, every human connection gets the brutally funny (and unfailingly incisive) Sloss treatment as he illuminates the ways in which all of our relationships are fragile and ridiculous and awful—but also valuable and meaningful and important.
About the Author
DANIEL SLOSS finds About the Author sections wanky and outdated.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 11 solo shows, toured them in theatres, music venues and arenas across 50 countries to rave reviews, and his specials, including X on HBO as well as DARK and Jigsaw on Netflix, can be seen on a total of 190 countries.
Despite the relationship and marital mayhem he has caused, Daniel still believes in love.
Daniel is thirty and lives in Scotland, his “forever home”.

I`ve had 8 months off stage and have loved every God damn second of doing absolutely nothing. It was bliss. Every single one of you who said "oh you`ll miss it after a month. You`ll be pining for it" can suck my incredibly fertile dick. I could`ve stayed away for a decade.
But my wife and children are bored of me now. They no longer get to complain that I`m never home. I haven`t heard the word "part time" or "negligent father" since May. So it`s time to get back to it.
I`ll be working up new material around Scotland over the next few months. It`ll be shit and I`ll hate myself for allowing the cobwebs to grow. That`s where art grows - in the pits of self-loathing.
Anyway, genuinely lovely to return to comedy at the club and show that birthed me. I will always love The Stand and it`s staff.

I got to be a part of the @haveawordpod Roast and say some truly awful things about colleagues and friends. It was an unbelievably funny night, and I`m excited to watch it back and enjoy the jokes I missed due to laughing.
You can watch it on their patreon and I`d highly recommend doing so.
The goal is to finish this by Christmas. Ignore my family at all costs, do minimal wrapping, feign illness and ask for "bed days" so I can plow through this. This is purely about destination and nothing to do with the journey. That`s for the second read.
If you`re not a Brando Sando fan, ignore the next rant.
No spoilers. But for the record - Lift is the single worst character in any fantasy novel bar none. The Jar Jar Binks of the Cosmere. Narrative ruining child banter enjoyed by people who`s favourite Friends character was Phoebe. And if thar upsets you - you thought the second Mistborn series was good and really enjoyed Wayne as a character - because there`s not a single natural funny bone in your body. Bunch of Terry Pratchett loving dweebs who only manage to laugh when people like me bring comedy into your lives. Pun-loving, quirky dorks who give us fantasy lovers a bad name. Get angry in the comments all you like, but I`d have a better conversation with a Court of Thorns reader than you simple minded, mouth breathing toddlers.
Loving is so far, though it hella gay.
