theinterrobang.com reported that three thousand people crammed into the Central Park Summer Stage area to hear Trevor Noah and the Daily Show correspondents perform live comedy and it was a blast. Summer Stage shows are always great, and for this one, the weather was on their side with bright blue skies kicking off the early part of the show.
The material was largely, but not exclusively political, and all of the comics got big time love from the crowd, which by the way was young, multicultural, and very enthusiastic. To cap the night, Trevor Noah came out on stage to Rihanna’s ‘Work Work Work’, and showed New York City why he’s already an international comedy star.
After the show fans crowded around stageside, chanting and cheering every time they got a glimpse of one of the Daily Show team, and they got quite a few. We caught Trevor, Ronny, and Roy Wood Jr. coming out to pose for selfies with giddy and screamy fans. The night was a great time. It’s not easy to perform comedy outdoors. There are distractions, there are noises, birds flying around, music floating in from the distance, and the sound of the audience dissipates in the open air. But nobody minded or even seemed to notice. A great night of comedy.
