Ed Power Daily Telegraph (UK) Jul 12, 2019
He's terrifically funny and unburdened by his predecessor's reflexive smugness. Go to Full Review Wesley Mead Den of Geek Jul 12, 2019
Trevor comes to life on the stage: freed from the constraints of that Daily Show desk, he thrives, his remarkable storytelling skills - and an impressive talent for accents - enrapturing the audience. Go to Full Review Brett Smiley Thrillist Jul 12, 2019
Noah is at his best when conversing between a pair of characters he's playing, like when Nelson Mandela trains a young Barack Obama on how to speak like a future black president. Go to Full Review Kahron Spearman The Daily Dot Jul 12, 2019
The South African comic uses comparisons of his home and New York for foundational, scene-building material, but he really shines when he breaks out of that formula and gets a little more political. Go to Full Review Sean L. McCarthy Decider Jul 12, 2019
Perhaps we need more comedians who can speak to the same audience our president does. Someone not so highbrow or highfalutin, but rather, delivering a more palatable message that goes down easy.That's something Noah serves up aplenty. Go to Full Review Miles Surrey Mic.com Jul 12, 2019
Noah's message in Afraid of the Dark - one of open-mindedness and stepping out of your comfort zone - is both refreshing and evergreen. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Jun 11, 2022 This political puppet should stay away from stand up and remain focused on reading the script handed to him. Nothing in this special was funny. No creativity or authenticity in the jokes. The only positive is he is good at accents. See more Mar 4, 2022 For the most part, really funny. Particularly liked the James Bond bit. Some jokes go on for too long though. See more Mar 16, 2021 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.
