Trevor Noah: African American

This was the fourth show I saw from Trevor Noah. The first shows were in his country, South-Africa, and so not all his jokes were understandable if you were not from South-Africa yourself as he sometimes spoke in Sudafrikaans. This show is in America and so it was much easier to follow. Trecor Noah has non-offensive but also non politically correct jokes. His vocal impressions are also good as he can handle any accent he wants. There are no pauzes in his shows as he is a waterfall of words, all with a touch of good humor. The only problem I had with this show is that he used jokes and passages from previous shows, so sometimes you have a déjà-vu. I think every show should be completely new. But besides that Trevor Noah: African American is easy fun entertainment.

Oh. MY. GOD!!!!! This guy is absolutely terrible!!! I don't know how anyone could find anything he says remotely funny. His jokes are BY FAR THE WORST IVE EVER HEARD! Everything that comes out of his mouth makes you cringe. No one I know finds him in the least bit funny.

I like stand-up comedy. But I LOVE South Africa and have spend about 5-6 weeks there in total. So the fact that I enjoyed this stand-up performance isn't at all surprising. But, I also think it's one most anyone would like, as Noah's humor is both funny and he seems to have a very likable persona. You cannot help but laugh and smile when he jokes, as he just seems like a nice guy. This actually helps with a few of his jokes which are a might uncomfortable for most audiences. Starvation humor is usually something that WON'T work (just like jokes about cancer or some recent assassination)--but somehow you smile and enjoy these awkward laughs. I also appreciate him and his humor because he isn't offensive but he's also not at all politically correct and he makes fun of race and nationalities in a good-hearted sort of way that both shows insight and a willingness to laugh at himself and others. Well worth seeing.
