Back on stage, Trevor Noah is a riot

IN A few days’ time, Trevor Noah will officially hang up his boots as the host of The Daily Show. But that doesn’t extend to his stand-up comedy shows.

While South Africans are eagerly awaiting his return to the stage in September next year, Noah is killing it on the comedy circuit in the US.

And Netflix has recently released his comedy special Trevor Noah: I Wish You Would.

True to form, he doesn’t miss a beat with his observational humour while remaining truly aligned with Africa.

That’s what is perhaps most admirable about him.

It doesn’t matter how big a name he has become in Hollywood, he remains humble, grounded and proudly South African.

With Covid-19 lingering in the shadows like an abusive ex, the world is ready to return to normal – and so is Noah.

In his set, which was filmed in Toronto, Canada, he tackled the politics around the coronavirus saga. And he delivered it in his trademark disarming way of educating and entertaining at the same time.

He poked fun at how the African continent handled the crisis better than the West, even though it wasn’t acknowledged.

He had to have a go at former US president Donald Trump, a subject that keeps on giving for the comedian.

At the moment, tickets for his Off the Record tour are selling out fast in the US. And if you missed Noah’s humour, this show, with new material, will not disappoint.
