Trevor Noah: Afraid of the Dark

Trevor Noah: Afraid of the Dark (2017) is a stand-up special you can watch online on iFILM. A little over an hour of The Daily Show host live on a London stage, filmed for Netflix by director David Paul Meyer.

Noah grew up in South Africa, speaks six languages, and spends the whole set bouncing between accents and borders. He picks apart the absurd ways countries get named, New York pedestrians who treat a red light as proof of immortality, and the real danger of drinking in Scotland. The comedy runs on an outsider's eye rather than anger — he finds Africa and the West equally ridiculous and says so with a grin. If you like sharp, observational stand-up that crosses cultures without picking fights, this is the one. Stream Trevor Noah: Afraid of the Dark (2017) online on iFILM.
