Trevor Noah: Afraid of the Dark

I really enjoyed the first part of this stand up special: hilarious jokes and nice reflections. But as minutes pass the show loses quality. It seems as if he had prepared a 40 minutes show and Netflix had told him to make it longer. He spends the last minutes with longer and less funny jokes. Just to put an example, he spends about five minutes with a boring joke in which he imitates Nelson Mandela and Barack Obama. All in all, it was an entertaining special. It just suprised me how it goes from super funny to quite boring.

Really nice, clean, inteligent humor, lot of acting with accents - Trevor is the best at doing them. A lot of political jokes...more storry telling...I had a good time wathing this and the end part killed it, I laughed really badly :D He´s got the point. And his humor is very authentic. I also loved his book and other shows.

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.

As an objective person, I normally scroll through the titles available that Netflix offers under a category then take my pick like taking a chance at a new ice cream flavor you haven't had before, say like wasabi as an example. Stand up comedians are good at observing normally hence they have the ability to mimic, imitate, make impressions and make fun . Comedy and the type of comedy another person appreciates is most likely not the same for me and not the same again for another person. The common denominator of all stand up comedians is the fun spirit. The material and writing varies but at the end of the day, they won't censor what they feel like saying, for me Trevor Noah is a sponge who absorbs things easily, be that accents, a portion of the culture, local customs or traditions and he turns it into an array of hilarious skits.

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.
