ACMI - Cinema 2, Federation Square

Sloss's stage, inside ACMI Cinema 2. Sloss remarked 'the comfiest comedy venue'

I've seen Sloss for the past two years, his 'So?' show last year and 'Dark' the year before that.

Looking back at my previous write ups, trying to remind myself of the previous shows, and being a little annoyed that I've written them in such an oblique way as to not spoil anything, and therefore not too good at reminding myself of what they contained. I remember the gist, well enough.

Sloss's 'Now' has been promoted as him questioning whether or not he is a sociopath. I think Sloss is intelligent, his comedy certainly is.

On the concept of psychopaths vs sociopaths Sloss presents the concept that psychopaths are born, they learn how to manipulate emotions, while sociopaths are created by experiences. Sloss says there's 15 traits that help define a sociopath, he has 7.

Sloss moves through a series of observations and tales that, for me to try and summarise I think I would risk at repeating what he said or badly rewriting. He presents intelligently written comedy, from a youthful perspective that has a mature, nuanced perspective.
