It feels like Trevor Noah had booked a venue and then realized that he didn't have any new material to present, forcing him to make up a bunch of jokes in a hurry.
I'm a fan of Trevor Noah's work and I've seen some of his other shows which I really enjoyed. For example "African American" and "You Laugh But It's True" which I recommend for anyone who hasn't seen them.
However "Afraid of the Dark" was a real let down. Many jokes were so drawn out to a point where I felt awkward watching him on stage. This was followed by a punchline that was definitely not worth the wait.
I'm amazed with Trevor's ability to switch accents so quickly, but I felt like this ability was overused and the jokes were really just an excuse to show off.
Whilst the show did get a couple brief smiles out of me, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I really hope Trevor Noah does better shows in the future.
