The Daily Show Host Live

The Daily Show host arrives at The New York Comedy Festival with material a-plenty. Since taking on the enviable task of replacing Jon Stewart as host of Comedy Central's flagship show, Noah has settled into his job of providing hilarious and cutting commentary on American politics in this election year with aplomb - see his bit about Trump as an African dictator for instance.

Bringing a unique outsiders perspective to the madness, and drawing from his upbringing in Apartheid-era South Africa, this talented comic with a butter-wouldn't-melt-stage presence has seen a meteoric rise to global fame. Using sharp wit, intelligent commentary and unmistakable charm, his use of brutal subjects and disarming honesty has established him as one of the foremost young comedians of his generation.
