Got to see Trevor Noah live last night

Very funny show. I enjoyed his whole set even though I had heard a few of the jokes before. The audience around me loved it. Based on the reactions to certain political jokes I was in a theater with 3000 pretty damn cool people. I think my favorite parts were when he was talking about his mom.

I didn't catch the name of the opening guy but he made me laugh.

We had hopes of hanging around the stage exit after the show and maybe catch an autograph - we bought his book and a miniature bar of soap for tiny trump hands but we found out the show had sold out so fast they added a second show later that night and it sold out too. So he didn't come out for any autographing but that's OK. I got to see Trevor Noah live.

My daughter has seen him live in New York, and also as a stand up routine in our local area.

He really is quite funny and witty.

Plus he's quite cute, to boot.

I love Orlando.

I haven't been there in a few years, but it's on my must stop places when I visit the sunshine state.

Really enjoyed the show and that was after having just finished his book, which I loved as well. He's a pretty amazing guy.

The stage lets him show how very talented he is. His Daily Show only shows a part of his many gifts.

I'm a regular viewer of The Daily Show and caught one of his stand up specials on HBO and he really is multi talented - is great with impersonations and voices! I'd love to see more of that, but I think he was a great choice for The Daily Show, he really "gets" US politics - and is just very funny!
