DANIEL SLOSS
We’re shocked to say that it has been 7 years since Altitude favourite Daniel Sloss performed at the festival! It’s almost as if he’s been off snowballing into an even bigger internationally acclaimed and award-winning comedian and a global household name.
Safe to say we cannot wait to have him back in Mayrhofen, drinking jager and riding his snowboard, where he belongs.
To date he’s created 13 solo shows, was the biggest ticket selling comedian in the world for 2021, has performed seven New York seasons off-Broadway, appeared on U.S. TV’s ‘Conan’ ten times and broken box-office records at the world’s biggest arts festival, the Edinburgh Festival Fringe.
His two hour-long specials for Netflix, ‘Daniel Sloss – Live Shows’ (‘DARK’ and ‘Jigsaw’), were released in 2018, streaming in 190 countries and 26 languages.
2021 saw Daniel’s first book “Everyone You Hate is Going to Die” published by Penguin Random House prestige imprint Knopf.

PAUL SMITH
Get ready to experience the jaw-aching, laugh out loud comedy from one of the UK's biggest selling comedians. It's the way he tells them ;)
Paul’s comedy success has skyrocketed in recent years, and he’s gone from being the infamous resident MC with the sharpest tongue at Liverpool’s famous Hot Water Comedy Club, to selling out arenas across the UK with his solo shows.
The clips of his audience interactions have been so widely shared that now he literally owns the internet. This Liverpudlian joker won Liverpool's New Comedian of the Year" and even skied into the finals of "The Leicester Comedian of the Year" but these awards pale in comparison to his compering success online globally and his colossal UK tours and festival appearances.
We are beyond thrilled that he is gracing our festival with his Altitude debut in 2024. His blizzard of rapid-fire audience interactions, put downs and hilarious stories from his everyday life promise to have you rolling around in laughter. Expect hysterics from start to finish - you won't want to miss a minute.
"One of the best live stand-up comedians working today" - Brett Vincent (Altitude boss)
