Edinburgh Festival 2010

It’s that time again! This is the 3rd time I’ll be doing the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and the 2nd time doing my own solo show. In fact, this is where it all started 3 years ago when I was still 16. My Generation is on most nights a 6.40pm at The Pleasance Dome. The first week’s tickets are sold out already so book quick on:

May I recommend you book for the 19th or the 28th when there will be a lovely but probably frustrated lady at the side of the stage furiously trying to translate my witterings into BSL for the deaf.

I will also be having fun at several other festival events such as sitting on the couch with the wonderful Mr Nicholas Parsons, Best of Scottish at The Stand, Best of the Fest at The Assembly Rooms, BBC Comedy Presents and more.

If you can’t get up to Edinburgh, tune in to Radio 1 and Nick Grimshaw’s festival special on the 17th, or Absolute Radio, Forth Radio, Galaxy or Real Radio festival specials.

And most of all, do come and give me a hug if you enjoyed the show.

Update

Still grinning like an idiot from last week’s epic filming of the sitcom pilot with the legendary Ed Byrne. And every single one of the cast and crew are brilliant. It was awesome fun to make and we hope that shows in the final product. Not sure when it will be shown but we will announce it here as soon as we know.

TV pilot audience required

BBC3 – URGENT RELEASE

Audience required for brand new BBC THREE comedy pilot

The Adventures of Daniel is a brand new comedy pilot for BBC Three starring Scottish teenage stand-up sensation – Daniel Sloss – and will mix Sloss’ own stand-up with sketches and narrative charting his experiences as a 19-year-old living with his parents in Kirkcaldy in Scotland.

Sloss’s comedy career kicked off when he was just 16 and since then he’s gone from strength to strength – last year he sold out his solo Edinburgh Fringe season and made his national television stand-up debut on Channel 4’s Paul O’Grady show.

The show features live stand-up from Daniel and we are looking for a vibrant audience to be part of this exciting new programme.

The show will be recorded in the last week of June. Venue details soon to be confirmed.

To obtain tickets e-mail: television.audience@googlemail.com.

Or call: 0141 334 7186.

Please include a contact telephone number.

Applicants should be 18yrs and over.

Tickets issued via http://bums-on-seats.co.uk/

We value your privacy. We will never give, rent, sell or otherwise disclose your personal information to any third party. Any information you give to us will be held with the utmost care, and will not be used in ways to which you have not consented.

BBC3 – The Adventures of Daniel

admin — Thu, 13 May 2010 09:11:38 +0000

I can’t believe it – BBC3 are letting me work with two of the funniest guys in the business, Tim Allsop and Stewart Williams (who wrote Plus One), to make my own pilot: “The Adventures of Daniel“! Totally unbelievably awesome! It’s going to be a mix of my stand-up material and some sketches intermingled with a plotline based very loosely on my life, my family and my girlfriend. This basically means I get to create a show in which I tell the world just how weird and annoying all these people actually are … and pretend it’s all fiction. It’s genius!

And now to answer all the questions you are all desperate to ask: -

When is it on telly?
I have no idea
Who else is in it?
I have no idea
Will it be funnier than “The Big Top”?
Oh come on! Stubbing your toe is funnier than The Big Top.
Will your mum be played by Susan Boyle?
I have no idea. Let’s hope not. Susan has had enough trauma already.
Are you excited?
Am I excited? Is there a queue at Greggs? Yes, I can’t wait.

West End!

Links to my debut on Ozzie TV show Good News Week. Yes, it was as much fun as it looks!

I made it to a land downunder!

Despite the best attempts of a complete ashhole (volcanic type) I finally made it to the Sydney Comedy Festival! And oh my word is it not the most fantastic place on earth. I may never come home.

Gigging every night and appearing on Good News Week on Ozzie telly on Monday May 3rd. I am also doing Teenage Kicks down there for one of the last times before I chuck out the old and bring in the new for this year’s Edinburgh Fringe show – My Generation.

Couple of nice bits in the local press too:

Plus, if you missed it, I made a few comments on Dermot O’Leary’s BBC3 specials with David Cameron and … that Lib Dem bloke. You can catch them on BBC iplayer:

And I MIGHT be on the one with Gordon Brown next Wednesday (28th May).
