On Saturday, October 17, 2026, acclaimed Scottish comedian Daniel Sloss brings his brand-new show, BITTER, to The Masonic in San Francisco. Doors open at 6:00 PM, with the performance beginning at 7:00 PM. Known internationally for his sharp wit, fearless observations, and darkly intelligent approach to stand-up, Sloss promises an evening that challenges expectations while delivering plenty of laughs.
BITTER marks a new chapter for a comedian who has built a reputation for tackling uncomfortable subjects with confidence, honesty, and an unmistakable sense of humor. Sloss’s comedy often combines dark humor with personal storytelling and provocative observations, encouraging audiences to think while they laugh. His performances can move quickly from absurd and hilarious moments to surprisingly thoughtful reflections, creating a show that feels as intellectually engaging as it is entertaining.
As the title suggests, BITTER is not likely to be a conventional feel-good comedy experience. Sloss has made a career out of confronting the stranger and more uncomfortable sides of human behavior, relationships, society, and everyday life. His ability to find humor in difficult or awkward subjects is central to his appeal, and his live performances are known for their energy, precision, and willingness to go places other comedians might avoid.
The Masonic provides an impressive backdrop for this San Francisco stop on the tour. The historic venue offers a spacious theater environment that allows Sloss’s commanding stage presence and direct audience interaction to take center stage. For fans of live stand-up, the communal atmosphere of a packed room adds an extra dimension to jokes that might feel very different outside the theater.
Whether you’re already familiar with Daniel Sloss’s work or discovering him for the first time, BITTER offers an opportunity to experience one of contemporary comedy’s distinctive voices in a brand-new show. Expect dark humor, sharp observations, unexpected turns, and plenty of moments designed to make you laugh while questioning why you’re laughing in the first place.
With doors opening at 6:00 PM and the show starting at 7:00 PM on October 17, 2026, Daniel Sloss’s BITTER promises a bold and memorable night of stand-up at The Masonic. Please note: this event is strictly for ages 16 and older.
