Daniel Sloss: Jigsaw

Who it's for

Sloss takes his father's metaphor, that life is a jigsaw with love as the centerpiece, and argues that people jam the wrong partners into that space to avoid being single.

Feelings it meets

• Self-Worth
• Breakup
• Loneliness

What it is

Daniel Sloss performs this Netflix stand-up special, released on September 11, 2018 as a companion to Dark. Its centerpiece is a jigsaw-puzzle metaphor for life, which grew from his father telling him as a child that everyone has a perfect missing piece; Sloss argues this belief makes single people feel broken and leads people to force ill-fitting partners into their lives.
