Daniel Sloss’ show begins with a question, which none of the audience answered in the affirmative, which seemed to surprise Sloss, that no one would answer yes to this question, which helps to begin and frame his show.
The question which is “do you think you are a good person?”
He suggests he doesn’t think so, because of the bad things he thinks (although does not do).
But he doesn’t just restrict himself to this concept, he moves around through a variety of topics; vegans especially get a more than lengthy mention. Also liberals (in the small L sense not the Australian government sense), which leads into the concepts within the left the right politics wise and the odd position the right and left are in regarding acceptance within their respective ideologies. Along the way there’s some linguistics discussion which is really quite fascinating and interesting. Plus also discussion or what art and art reviewers have to contribute to the working experience of art.
Sloss’ show is deeply honest, a little bit dark, but not as complex as his show last year, which dealt in a strangely positive way with the death of his sister.
Sloss’ show “So?” is I think the most intelligent show I’ve seen so far, the most well thought out, he makes some great arguments. The show is well paced and when he starts he gets right into it with no distractions getting in the way of his performance. Sloss has a great confidence on stage, it brings the audience along with his performance.
I look forward to seeing what Sloss does next year.
