After the success of his two Netflix specials ‘DARK’ & ‘Jigsaw’, Daniel Sloss, Scotland’s internationally acclaimed and award-winning comedy star, returns to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe with his stunning international smash-hit 'Daniel Sloss: X’ to mark his first ever headline gig at the Playhouse.
Currently making headlines around the world with his ground-breaking 10th solo show, Daniel has performed on ‘Conan’ a record eight times and sold out his shows across eleven consecutive Edinburgh Fringe seasons (the world's biggest arts festival where he’s been one of the biggest comedy ticket sellers for the past 9 years). His Netflix shows are streaming in 190 countries and in 26 languages and he has performed four solo off-Broadway seasons (including an unprecedented 30 New York performances across 19 days in February of this year).
Daniel has received rave reviews from around the worlds and his “Daniel Sloss: X” juggernaut tour already spans 200+ shows across 30 countries with new dates selling out just as fast as they can be added. This is an extraordinary, hilarious and ground-breaking show with strong adult themes and it is not to be missed. We are delighted to welcome it to the Edinburgh Playhouse. Book early.

Edinburgh Playhouse
Although designed as a variety theatre, the Edinburgh Playhouse opened in 1929 as Scotland’s second largest cinema. It was hugely successful and remained so until the downturn in cinema attendance in the early 70s. When it closed in November 1973, the building was at risk of demolition, but following several years of public ‘save the Playhouse’ campaigns it was eventually saved. It reopened in 1980 as the fully functional theatre it was always intended to be. Since then, it has hosted some of the world's biggest music and stand-up comedy acts including, Elton John, The Who, Nick Cave, Kevin Bridges and Tim Minchin and international hit musicals such as The Phantom of the Opera, We Will Rock You, Wicked, Matilda and Disney’s The Lion King.
