[@kenlyneham4105]

The world is lucky to have a comedian of such calibre.

[@68bluebob]

He did his thing, the crowd was just dead

Well, they’re all very old, so they’re not dead, but very close.

I love that the Middle Class British crowd had no idea how to react to him, I was laughing like crazy.

The Brits were nervous when he mentioned apartide. 😂😂

[@LadyT06]

Bravo Trevor on being the first South African comedian to perform for the Queen!!The British surely like you very much.

[@SilverStrumer]

The Queen didn't attend though..

[@LadyT06]

Ooh dear,seems like Lizzy is getting to old for such events.

[@susansantos1010]

@@SilverStrumer really, did any of the royal family attend.

[@cambs0181]

We have had Sid James.

[@relocatetoEUROPE]

His English accents are awesome and his observations about the people who you will come across in London and England spot on.

[@olymolly3637]

The "I'm in an alleeeeyyyy!!!" caught me off-guard looool. Never heard of this part before. Interesting material lol

[@peteroz7332]

He voice imitation skills are just amazing

[@chiefmagistrate]

WOw! Tough room, surprising cos we Brits have a fantastic sense of humour, dry wit, so really surprised, because Trevor is ace, pure comedy without profanity, in this day and age, bloody genius!!

[@Optimus333]

After the words "we brits", everything else was automatically read in Trevor Noahs british accent! Just wanted to share :)

[@thrace_bot1012]

yeah ,fuck no. I watch Britain's got talent as well as America's and several other countries' and obviously the british and sorry bud , I don't want to unnecessarily troll but its absolutely true I have always felt the british audience to be kinda thick towards the jokes or something. Honest truth from my perspective.

[@anjac9277]

What a great talent he is!!!!!

[@killerfc909]

@@thrace_bot1012 British wit, humour and insults are renowned though. My favourite comedians Daniel Sloss and Jimmy Carr are both British and shows like Mock the week and other comedy skit or talkshows they have are brilliant. They're a lot darker or edgier than American comedians, more my taste

[@langegemi-fob4414]

Yeah I don't know what happened there...

[@cathkambanda2862]

I care very little for stand up Comedy , but Trevor brings it home so super- I can't wait for the next show ever from him!! very smart dude at the same time I have to say

[@keishacameron1601]

and he is very clean with his jokes

[@garyschasteen9440]

Maybe the crowd were entranced by his wit and the value of what he was conveying. When I first watched one of his performances, I did not laugh for parts only because I was so deeply entranced with the depth of knowledge and wit he was conveying, and deeply enjoying it. Now I laugh when I hear and watch his stand-up comedy as I have been watching every one that I can find of his posted KZbin video works of instructive comedic art.

[@hanenbenrhouma9825]

He chose hell "I think I can make it a better place" that's so sweet. What a tribute!

[@mutantminusmutiny8477]

This would have killed an American crowd

[@kimjongun5073]

@Kim Jong-un Who dafaq ARE YOU???

[@kimjong-un7151]

Shiiiit, what you guys doin here

[@norge0209]

Kim Jong-un He’s extremely popular here.

[@SalemEverett]

It's Royal Variety, so the majority of the audience would have been older, middle-class white people who don't really understand 21st century comedy. Also crowds in America are generally louder and much more animated regardless of who's performing.

[@LamZL1]

...so would an AR-15.. ohhh, right..

[@jayparrish1]

That crowd, christ... Dead.

[@MazwiZwane]

Jay Parrish shitty crowd

[@johnkelesi]

They're all dead... But tasty

[@NowFunStarts]

He wasn`t that funny, British have a pretty high standard in comedy, but if he hangs around and plays the clubs then he`ll improve.

[@kubel83]

Jay Parrish oh I have seen worse to be honest.

[@houmer69]

I guess it's because all the sound is taken directly from the mix/mic, so the crowd can be barely heard, only when they switch the mic to get the outside noise ( as you can hear a little echo )...these people are laughing but the sound of this recording is crap ( the direct input of the mic is louder than the audience )... I'm pretend-to-be musician, and sometimes when I received a recording, there was no crowd to be heard since all the sound was from the mix, not combined with the sound from the crowd... :)))

[@gaiusscipio]

I think he was surprised when he first did the Mandela voice and no one reacted.

[@Crozz22]

But.. they did laugh. What are you on about

[@markkuman4673]

Crying with laughter. Literally. Your okay Trevor. Love from Papua New Guinea!

[@dilshadfahad6407]

Trevor Noah totally slayed the Royal Variety!!! Well done!

[@MrShj98]

I feel so awkward for him, he performed well but the crowd was just dead!

[@paulntombela802]

What I like most about Trevor Noah is that he never forget where he comes from(South Africa) and he's the greatest comedian of all time

[@Asdasty]

worst crowd ever

[@Asdasty]

callum93guerrilla Thanks. I changed it now.

[@Asdasty]

callum93guerrilla It was not bad but i have to agree with you about it not being his best

[@greg.sym.4115]

I think it was a pretty elderly audience. Two of the other comedians made a note about it in their set.

[@turgousxewij9128]

@Bruce Wayne batman what happened to you

Be fair it was a Royal Variety Performance.....

[@ayandangcobo2666]

I think he did good here, he only mentioned his mother and father about apartheid and the other stuff was about the UK and Mandela which was actually good. The crowd was dead though

[@ozonkwo]

Ayanda Ngcobo yeah and he felt it...its clear from his lack of energy...

[@ozonkwo]

Ayanda Ngcobo yeah and he felt it...its clear from his lack of energy...

[@SalemEverett]

Royal Variety is a tough gig because of the general audience demographic (old and white); I can guarantee that the other acts performing would have received the same level of apathy. His set was great.

[@UrbanPredator786]

The crowd was shit. I was on the floor watching this

[@rschlessel6133]

I find it's more comfortable watching on the sofa, but each to their own.

[@feyiplus4500]

R Schlessel Lmao, you reached though. I think she meant she was on the floor laughing due to his jokes being so funny.

[@UrbanPredator786]

Victory Aiyeetan lol she... I'm a he btw but thanks for understanding

[@feyiplus4500]

Mo Yusuf oops my bad, I saw a picture of what looked like storm so I assumed you are a woman. You are welcome.

[@UrbanPredator786]

Its cool

[@musiclover9361]

Bloody hell, was the audience asleep?? He was hilarious!

[@GinaMazzola]

Trevor is always awesome.

[@michaelmilsom9518]

wow..gives you some insight as to what it is like to be a comedian. He worked very hard in that 5:45 minutes without too much relief. He kept trying..ok..that didn't work..trying the next thing..didn't work...next.... yiesh. I applaud him for staying within himself and not losing composure.

[@mulugetakejela6126]

I wish this wonderful man would come to Ethiopia.

[@sarahchamoun8774]

He will come one day

[@nanokd]

Tough crowd. But he is very funny. Better luck next time. Trevor Noah is pretty awesome! A great rep for South Africa :)

[@pro_pediment]

Tough crowd

Pure elegance. Beautiful.

[@legalshieldbarbara8554]

Trevor Noah for President of South Africa. Let the Presidential Comedy Hour begin!!! The Venting Vigilante.

[@amazingsupergirl7125]

Ricardo Francis awwwww but we love him in America

[@macb.43]

Lol I can relate about walking through the alley as I'm living in London now. I used to say to my husband it's so odd seeing women walking out and about at 11pm here, you wouldn't do that in South Africa.

[@AshleyXu10]

Back then, he had not tried Sydney Trains yet, I am sure. Delays due to heat, cold, wind, rains, crowd, staff deserves holiday...you name it

[@Tashevery]

lol

wow Trevor is great The Master of Comedy

[@alexthewax]

Trevor Noah you legend. Keep it blazin #VolcanicAFRICA

[@RinRin_c]

Trevor Noah, my man.. ❤️

[@MrGillie12]

He has a lot of content but i think this performance was just to educate people about south africa.

[@oscarkim7]

Congratulations Trevor Noah - the new Daily Show host! Jon Stewart will be missed.

[@snakeXxbite]

No he won't

[@markshanecoetzee7184]

Trevor are you mad to be this awesome lol , you truly are a funny guy.

[@carolberry2239]

not sure they caught trevors subtle jokes..do they know who nelson Mandela is and how he talks?

[@amazingsupergirl7125]

carol berry yeah I wondered that too but how on earth could they no know Mandela?

[@helenasousa9037]

If it's a posh audience than they know

[@startdale5547]

Nah thats the English (upper class) audience in hysterics.

[@igorchistyakov8876]

Well, I believe, if you are not an illiterate caveman, you have at least some idea who he is. Which is pretty enough for understanding Trevor's jokes. I don't really get the "vuvuzela" part, only the joke about Hell worked well for me. So I believe, it's more about the context you live in: the crowd was reacting to the "crime" part, which for me was so-so up until the "robbery" punch. You appreciate what's closer to you, I guess. And it doesn't mean you are mean or stupid: you just had different life experience.

[@MassagebyMaven]

Love love love Trevor Noah xxxxx

[@matthewwarren105]

Look, it might not have been his best show (not surprising since it's always tough it a different country and culture), but he deserved more laughs than that

[@pizzalover885]

I agree it was not his best. He was rushing.

[@ladym2398]

I really like this guy

[@pdias8469]

Trevor I am laughing guttural. What a comedy! I can’t have enough of your “comedy”. Lol.

[@RexyFan]

Aww man, I wanted to watch Simon Cowell at the end there.

[@saadkoorjah9444]

THE CROWD OMGGGGGG ITS DEADDDDDD i feel sorry for him ffs

[@cmthoughts4803]

The Nelson Mandela part🤣🤣🤣

[@ellie2829]

I'm British and I loved this & I know a lot of people who did (that's for people who are blaming it on Brits). there were a load of comedians on the 2014 show and people laughed a lot more at them than they did here. He needs some new material because I've heard this loads! it sounds like his material is meant for an younger audience, and like someone below said, the audience was old.

[@ibrahimconteh8442]

he is d best comedian in the world

[@kingchuckish]

The crowd was dead but the pay check was alive and kicking!

[@mohsinkazi1531]

Great performance

[@selmaadam6775]

If this was Trevor in South Africa, he would be like " ee dead dead... I'm so dead! Ee deadth by dead crowd!! Aaish..."😂😂😂😂

[@shami791]

did very well as always...what a crowd though

Just Brillant !! Christopher Hitchens would had been happy to listen the last part.

[@mun1872]

Haha, they always play some lion king-type music as his intro!

[@nicolarollinson4381]

Trying to think why it was such a tough crowd and I think its cuz South Africa is a bit of a taboo subject. No one knew quite how to react. Only just come across this guy. So smart.
