Daniel Sloss - My Generation

How can we laugh as the world slides into chaos? If the whole world was falling into chaos we could all relate to it, and therefore would find the funny side of it. No matter what emotion it is, as long as it is mutual, people won't mind you joking about it. That and everyone loves laughing at pain.  

What punchline have you longed to find a joke for but never quite managed? I can turn an ordinary t-shirt into a ninja mask, and still have not found a funny way to incorporate it in with my stand up. Apart from shouting "I'M A FUCKING NINJA!" while I stand shirtless and cold.

If you could call a moratorium on one over-used stand-up premise, what would it be? I have no idea what moratorium means, but I'll assume it means get rid of. "Garlic Bread!"Fuck you Peter Kay

Bill Hicks or Bill Cosby? Bill Hicks. Utter legend

Does your mother approve of your career choice? She is very supportive, which is good. Because I do have a lot of jokes about her.

What's the one subject that you've never been able to make a joke about? Marriage... so far.

If your comedy was a musical genre, what would it be? The poetry of a 16 year old the first time he's been drunk set to anything by MGMT.

Of what comedian would you most like to hear about the mysterious, asteroid-collision-related disappearance? Peter Kay. It would have to be a massive asteroid. But let's not take risks here. I'll do it.

Complete: Two men walk into a bar... It was a gay bar. The first man, let's call him "Craig Hill",  didn't tell the other man, let's call him "Me", that it was a gay bar. Upon entering the bar "Me" realises a lot of the women share the same haircut as I do and have the same interests as me, (pints, jeans and vaginas), and then while "Me" tries to look straight, Craig Hill proceeds to dance provocatively around "Me" ruining any chances "Me" had of looking straight... True story.

What do you want to be when you grow up? A stand-up comedian. Or a penguin. That would be fucking awesome.

What's the funniest thing about Sydney? I did hear that wombats kill more people a year than sharks. Which is interesting, maybe not funny, depends how they do it really.

In 30 words or less, explain what your show is about and why everyone should go and see it. It's about a 19 year old having a mid-life crisis talking about growing up, life experiences and ranting about music festivals... And wanking.
