Sloss' unapologetic approach has helped him connect with audiences since age 17, when he first took the stage as a stand-up comedian. "The great thing about stand up is that it's a one sided debate so I get to pitch my argument and then pretend I know what your argument is," he explains. His material is invariably unfiltered, vulgar and brutally honest. In his latest stage show, X, the comedian explores his own toxic masculinity and the impact it has on those close to him. Sloss uses comedy as a means to not only make his fans laugh but also to raise critical questions about the way we act. Does your partner really fit into your puzzle? Do you fit into theirs? If not, admit the last years of your life have been a waste and simply move on, he suggests. Next, the comedian encourages his audience to reassess their relationships. "My generation has romanticized the idea of romance, and it is cancerous." "Some people are more in love with the idea of love than the person they are with," he says.

There is nothing wrong with being single." I just said things that some people needed to hear, which is, you do not have to settle. Hours before he delivers his latest hour and a half of candid observational comedy, his tenth stage show aptly titled X, Sloss explains to Newsweek that Jigsaw was never a breakup show: "It was a love letter to single people. "I still get emails every day from the website, and that's usually where all the divorces come through in." "If I was being realistic, I'd say about 50,000 break ups," the 28-year-old Scottish comedian tells Newsweek. Daniel Sloss has ended at least 34,000 relationships and 93 marriages with his Netflix comedy special Jigsaw ⁠- and that's a conservative estimate.
