Trevor Noah: I Wish You Would

I'll give this to him. He does have stage presence. He does command attention from audience. He does really well with facial expressions and comedic pauses. He is actually one of the best in impressions. The impressions of the American presidents especially Trump and Biden was hilarious. German impression and creativity around the joke was also quite funny. But...... That's it.... There is nothing more to it. He does have too much of political opinions and I don't think he is smart enough to understand politics. Extremely biased and petty in some of the jokes. Promotes victim mentality and the material is quite polarising. Making fun is ok, but when you start backing it up with sentences like - "I don't know why someone would vote for him" - This shows the emotional weakness and personal agendas. I won't recommend watching the whole thing, but rather wait for the best of Trevor Noah reel or something on Youtube and get the best parts. Again, president impressions are some of the best I've seen.

Truly dissapointing performance. I actually fell asleep during what was supposed to be a comedy show? Maybe I misundstood something.. He also seemed quite tense which was a bit of a surprise to me considering his TV experience. It also made me wonder whether his Daily Show was scripted that much? I mean this was a completely different Trevor Noa compared to his earlier stuff as well as the snappiness and character shown in Daily Show and his amazing performances before that. Sure, there were couple of good jokes in there but the rest of it was just unexciting, to put it mildly. I certainly hope to see more of Trevor, how he used to be.

Your contention is if I didn't think he's unfunny, it's because I'm 'ethnocentric' or racist? The best comedians on earth are black, that's not racist it's reality. And guess what, it's BECAUSE they're clever use of racial themes (not racist, racial) to connect to any human regardless of race. I thought it sucked because he's not funny, not because I'm ethnocentric or racist (let's be honest, that's what you were implying). It was one of the worst 'headliner' specials I've seen since Amy Schumer. 1/10, but I'm giving it a 3/10 so you know I'm not racist. Quit race-baiting no one cares about skin color, they care about content and character, and he has neither. Couldn't even get through half of it.

Trevor Noah returns and rocks Toronto with a much-needed dose of self-actualization and sardonic observation that stirs laughter as well as thought. Sharp and wicked smart is Noah's raportage on Covid events, politicians, & society's gullibility to Trumpian conspiracy nonsense. Noah's impressions are spot-on, hysterical, and hit home with a swift right hook: Trudeau's trip to India is priceless - and I should know because I'm Canadian. Trevor has blossomed into a fully self-aware individual, one who unafraid to turn that perceptive eye inward as well as out. This show displays growth and an intellectual maturity that George Carlin himself would give a tip-of-the-hat to. Truly enjoyable.

Not afraid to be who he is, and speaks his mind! Clever, funny, intelligent and brilliant man. Trevor at his best. Not afraid to be political and honest which was so refreshing!! Not for the close minded!!! Or for the supporters of you know who. Covered some great relevant topics that have impacted us in the last few years, which is no easy fate. This is part of what makes the show so great. Overall there was great flow to the show, seemed shameless and then it finished - we were all left wanting more; the best way to exit a show if you ask me. Lucky Canadians who got to watch the live show!

I was excited to hear about a new special from Trevor. I haven't watched the Daily Show at all because politics don't interest me at all. I loved the show, I think he grew up magnificently and he shows it elegantly in his stage presence, self-deprecation and skill. There are now overarching arcs in the story of his stand-up. And seemingly unrelated stories have a common theme, namely schadenfreude. He has raised the bar of comedy very high and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. It is very difficult to deliver this kind of show and he does a great job. I saw some people say some jokes were rehashes, I haven't consumed enough of his content to see that but I understand that can feel a bit disappointing. However, for me, the pleasure isn't in the jokes, it's in how he plays and delivers them. The last part, especially, was extremely funny and tasteful, and it closes the arc of the whole show. Beautiful. Unfortunately, it's hard for many people who have strong political views, and don't agree with him, to put that aside and just enjoy a masterpiece in comedy and writing.

I used to laugh myself to tears listening to Trevor a couple of years ago so I had great anticipation when I noticed his new title on Netflix. I put it in and to my surprise he opened with two jokes that he used like 10 years ago, and I think everyone who remotely knows him heard at least a dozen times. After that it started to be promising, only to turn into the 1000th comedian to start talking about Covid. I listened to the flat jokes for a while, which we ourselves talked about multiple times during the pandemic...and then I decided that I can use my time better than this and turned it off.

As a fan of T N, this was a snoozefest and not even close to good as his previous worst stand-up. At best, this would've been an ok 15-20 min stand-up open-mic night gig. Him speaking German with barely any explanation to what was being said was boring. Then the rest of the fist half was just dragged out nonsense with zero laughs thus far. The last half was the only time I broke a few chuckles, and even those jokes dragged on endlessly. His monologue on The Daily Show is hilarious, so now it's clear the TDS writers come up with all the funny content. He needs to make sure they go with him if he still plans on doing stand-up as a career, because had I paid to see him live for that one hour, I would've walked out half way through and demanded a refund. It's a generous 5/10, only because I'm still a fan.

One of the best stand ups I've seen. Trevor takes you on a journey similar to how he did with the Daily show where he leaves the series at such a high that you are left wanting more. He starts it off with some jokes you've heard before if you've been watching the daily show and connects it all together with a BANG of an ending joke that connects it all together with original material and unexpected outcomes. If someone didn't like it, it's a lack of exposure to different cultures and a ethnocentric view that is well engrained in the receivers psyche. Felt like I got sucked in to the TV and was sitting in the live audience. One not to miss!
