One of Scotland's biggest comedy exports is heading to Glasgow for a hometown headline show, and you'd be wise to grab tickets while you still can. Daniel Sloss plays the SEC Armadillo on Saturday 28 March as part of the 2026 Glasgow International Comedy Festival, bringing his brand-new show Bitter to one of the city's most iconic stages.

It's a homecoming gig for a comedian who has spent the best part of two decades conquering stages around the world. Sloss, who grew up in Fife, has toured across 55 countries, sold out nine off-Broadway seasons in New York, and broken box office records on multiple continents. Bitter is his 13th solo show — a staggering output for a performer still only 35 years old.

A Global Star with Scottish Roots

If you've spent any time on Netflix, there's a good chance you've encountered Sloss's work. His 2018 specials DARK and Jigsaw became a worldwide phenomenon. Jigsaw, in particular, earned a remarkable reputation — Sloss has claimed it caused over 120,000 breakups and more than 300 divorces, as viewers reconsidered their relationships after watching his razor-sharp take on love and settling. The New York Times called him "dirty, sweet and clever," which feels about right.

Since then, he's added specials on HBO and his own streaming platform, and his live tours continue to sell out globally. But for all that international success, there's something special about seeing him play Glasgow.

Part of a Brilliant Festival

The show falls within the Glasgow International Comedy Festival, which runs from 11–29 March and features hundreds of acts across the city. We've put together a full guide to the festival's best remaining shows, and Sloss's Armadillo date is one of its flagship events — a big-room show from a comedian operating at the peak of his powers.

He'll be joined by special guest Kai Humphries, a fellow comedian and long-time collaborator.
