Trevor Noah: Afraid of the Dark

I have watched 67 years of every kind of comedian that ever graced the planet - stand up comedians, sitcom comedians, comedy film stars, host comedians, comedy writers.. live, taped.. I've seen them all. But none of them can hold a candle to Trevor Noah!

This young man is beyond brilliant! His material is refreshingly unique (and that's an understatement). His timing is impeccable. His role-playing and accent and voice imitations are spot-on. When he is telling his stories you cease to see Trevor, as he becomes the British conqueror, the laid back Indian, the foggy-headed Scotsman. I could watch his stand up routines every day and never grow tired of what I consider to be the greatest comedy of all time.

I know that Trevor Noah is busy with his TV show, which is also brilliant, but I hope he continues to perform some stand-up well into the future, as he has spoiled me for other comedians. Not to say that there aren't superb comics out there, but I have seen none that I would place in Noah's league.

I had no idea who this comedian was before I stumbled upon this show on Netflix. So I sat down to watch it with no expectations of any kind.

I will say that Trevor Noah is good at delivering his material, and he has a good charisma. But the material just fell short of being funny in most cases for me, which resulted in only a few laughs here and there for me.

He was good at doing the voice impressions, but the jokes were just a swing and a miss for me, so I wasn't overly much having fun as I watched the show.

It should be said that there is a good flow to the show and he never really comes to a halt. That is at least a driving force his stand-up comedy show. Having watched this, and without being overly impressed, then I am not particularly in a hurry to go out and watch other of his shows, if he have any.

I laughed so much I can't breathe !!! Trevor's talent is amazing !!!

He can seamlessly switch between accents and role play. I've seen snippets of some of his acts, and the most funny to me is the Russian language, never gets tired, and have me in stitches every time I watch and re-watch it.

Trevor Noah isn't the funniest comedian but he might be the most impressive one. Trevor is the only comedian I know that is politically correct, unoffensive, meanful, smart and STILL manages to be funny.

These people are just some haters who can't appreciate Trevor Noah's jokes, don't get me wrong, it's not the best stand-up comedy routine ever , but it's still pretty enjoyable. Come on guys, stop being so critical and get a sense of humor. It's not like he's flippantly joking about the Holocaust or something, jeez.
