Feeling bitter about living in the shadow of imminent economic collapse? Scottish comedian Daniel Sloss might just commiserate onstage at Steinmetz Hall Friday. He’s taking his new show, Bitter — a hit at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, so let’s see how it translates from one Fringe-y town to another — all around the States (with his family in tow, for real) on an extensive theater run as part of a worldwide campaign.
Time Out praised his new material as sharp, self-aware and unafraid to call out hypocrisy (see also comments in interviews about comedians who went to Riyadh selling their souls). Sloss infamously deadpanned that his 2018 dissection of relationships, Jigsaw, is responsible for a score of divorces, so clearly expectations are high.
7 p.m., Friday, Oct. 30, Steinmetz Hall, Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 445 S. Magnolia Ave., drphillipscenter.org, $46-$200.
