Must see!
Trevor is an excellent story teller and like most great comedians, gives you a dose of Truth with some funny to wash it down.

Laughing on the outside, but not on the inside
Trevor is funny and entertaining to watch, but the material had way too much emphasis on the “n” word. His closing featured the “n” word, leaving the audience with it as a final, lasting impression. I laughed during the show, but upon reflection, the content was disappointing. The entry to the show was poorly managed. There were only a couple of doors open for entry, causing ticket holders to have to line up around the block in the sweltering heat to enter the show.

Great Show.
We very much enjoyed the show. The only issue was the rude person next to me who could not stop texting and the light of their smart phone was distracting.

Great show!
Trevor Noah is an awesome comic. We all laughed out loud continually. Very light on politics, his observational comedy was a real hoot!

short but sweet
Trevor never disappoints in his content or delivery. His "warm up act" was entertaining as well. Unfortunately, it was under 90 minutes combined (started 10 minutes late and ended promptly at 9)... likely to accommodate the second show that was added at 10... but, still.

Trevor Noah, Kodak Theater on the Ridge 05-04-2018
Trevor Noah is amazing from beginning to end. I am a huge fan. The show did not disappoint. I was happy there was a lot more than politics in his routine. My husband came with me and that was the one thing I was nervous about (he had no idea who Trevor Noah was). Excited there was a second show added for my friends that were not able to get tickets to the first show. My seats were so close and would have loved to snap a photo or two yet I understand. Also would love to meet one of these appearances to get my book signed which I could not put down. Brought it with me just in case yet no such luck. Cannot wait until he comes to Rochester again! Hope he enjoyed his Dinosaur BBQ while here. That's where I was told he was going for dinner in between shows if I wanted to catch him there for an autograph. Couldn't get the husband to go which means next time, the husband stays home LOL

Mediocre
It was mediocre. I didn't laugh as much as I had expected. Noah seems a bit more reserved and conservative in his comments. I guess he has so much more to lose now that he works for a syndicated show. I would not pay to see him again. He's best watched on the telee

Laughed the whole time
This was a great show - the opening act got the crowd off to a running start with some quick-witted jokes at the expense of late arrivals (note to self...show up on time unless you want to be part of the show!) and then Trevor closed the deal with a fantastic routine. Funny, smart humor that’ll be a much needed relief to those depressed by our current political climate. Trevor talks a bit about his life growing up in South Africa, his perspective as a black man, and shares his angst about The Trump era in a thoughtful and hilarious show.

Trevor Noah
Enjoyed Noah's comedy's. My husband and laughed throughout his various skits and intellectual political satire. Mot crass and laced with vulgarity.
