    Laugh out loud funny

    Incredibly funny! Filled with great accents that never disappoint! Yes, I have heard some version of a few jokes before but his delivery and take on them makes all the difference. Had me in tears, laughing so hard a few times. Would recommend to anyone. This is what truly good comedy looks like! "Traveling is the cure for ignorance" is my favorite line and SO true!

    Very good comedy show

    Trevor is funny in a way that doesn't hurt anybody and this special made me laugh out loud in the middle of the night. Even though he's telling smart jokes, it's still silly entertainment, as intended, and his skills are impressive. Definitely a must-see for stand up fans.

    What is a stand up comedian expected to do?

    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.

    can't breathe !

    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.

    Not particularly my cup of tea...

    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.

      Trevor Noah: And you know, ladies, I love how guys talk about an erection like it's something we bought at the store and we can't return. And they say, "What am I supposed to do with this, huh? What am I supposed to do with this? I've opened it, I can't take it back, huh, huh? What am I supposed to do with this?"
