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!!
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.
@@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
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
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 UA-cam video works of instructive comedic art.
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.
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... :)))
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Sorry, I have to disagree. British stand-up comedians are some of the best in the world. Jimmy Carr, Eddie Izzard, Bill Bailey, Stephen Merchant, Michael McIntyre, Ricky Gervais, Sean Lock, Steve Coogan, Jack Dee, Lee Mack, Frankie Boyle, John Bishop, Rhod Gilbert, David Mitchell, John Cleese...the list goes on and on.
Jayneel Ramjee I have to disagree, too. They have great cinematic comedy (for example, I've always found John Cleese to be utterly hilarious, in movies) but their stand-up is like . . . how do you say . . . "the guy next door".
retsea1 John Cleese is a little past his prime (as are many of his peers) but the more youthful, up-and-coming comedians who get little to no exposure are first class. Check out 'Live At The Apollo' to see the best of what the UK has to offer. Stand up is HUGE over here.
He did his thing, the crowd was just dead
Bobby "Blue "Bland?
Well, they’re all very old, so they’re not dead, but very close.
Illest Writer 666 likes HOLY SHIT
R Schlessel I
Well...they're royalty
I love that the Middle Class British crowd had no idea how to react to him, I was laughing like crazy.
Joseph Ed Reed middle class? It's the posh sods that get in
max flower
Fuck yourself
@Sam Rudman they did not react when he said that he was the crime!

The Brits were nervous when he mentioned apartide. 😂😂
The world is lucky to have a comedian of such calibre.
Bravo Trevor on being the first South African comedian to perform for the Queen!!The British surely like you very much.
The Queen didn't attend though..
Ooh dear,seems like Lizzy is getting to old for such events.
@@SilverStrumer really, did any of the royal family attend.
We have had Sid James.
His English accents are awesome and his observations about the people who you will come across in London and England spot on.
The "I'm in an alleeeeyyyy!!!" caught me off-guard looool. Never heard of this part before. Interesting material lol
He voice imitation skills are just amazing
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!!
After the words "we brits", everything else was automatically read in Trevor Noahs british accent! Just wanted to share :)
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.

What a great talent he is!!!!!

Yeah I don't know what happened there...
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
and he is very clean with his jokes
Trevor Noah totally slayed the Royal Variety!!! Well done!
He chose hell "I think I can make it a better place" that's so sweet. What a tribute!
Crying with laughter. Literally. Your okay Trevor. Love from Papua New Guinea!

I think he was surprised when he first did the Mandela voice and no one reacted.
But.. they did laugh. What are you on about
This would have killed an American crowd
@Kim Jong-un Who dafaq ARE YOU???
Shiiiit, what you guys doin here
Kim Jong-un He’s extremely popular here.
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.
...so would an AR-15.. ohhh, right..
Trevor is always awesome.
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
That crowd, christ... Dead.
Jay Parrish shitty crowd
They're all dead... But tasty
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.
Jay Parrish oh I have seen worse to be honest.

Great sence of humor, just love your comedy show, thank you very much, Mr. Trevor Noah!

Pure elegance.
Beautiful.
I wish this wonderful man would come to Ethiopia.
He will come one day
worst crowd ever
callum93guerrilla Thanks. I changed it now.
callum93guerrilla It was not bad but i have to agree with you about it not being his best
I think it was a pretty elderly audience. Two of the other comedians made a note about it in their set.
@Bruce Wayne batman what happened to you
Be fair it was a Royal Variety Performance.....
I feel so awkward for him, he performed well but the crowd was just dead!
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
Ayanda Ngcobo yeah and he felt it...its clear from his lack of energy...

The crowd was shit. I was on the floor watching this
I find it's more comfortable watching on the sofa, but each to their own.
R Schlessel Lmao, you reached though. I think she meant she was on the floor laughing due to his jokes being so funny.
Victory Aiyeetan lol she... I'm a he btw but thanks for understanding
Mo Yusuf oops my bad, I saw a picture of what looked like storm so I assumed you are a woman. You are welcome.
Its cool
Bloody hell, was the audience asleep?? He was hilarious!
He imitates voices so well
That was a great set :-), tough audience though.
Yeah I was just thinking that too.
I really like Trevor! He is great!!
Tough crowd. But he is very funny. Better luck next time. Trevor Noah is pretty awesome! A great rep for South Africa :)
Tough crowd
His accents are fabulous!
I love all urs shows.. i've been watching u, even Knowing that u never came to mozambique, u know, its just a hour from SA..
He's soooooo good! Delicious man with a top sens of humour.
Trevor for President 2020!!
Love this guy❤️ he is so smart and tactful.
That superb tribute to Mandela at the end.
His English accent is on point😲
love this guy he's accents are spot on funny and handsome!
Trevor Noah is an amazing comedian😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"I think I can make it a better place" lol If only I felt like that about Milwaukee... ;(

I love the Vuvuzelas :)
"The Swiss like chocolate" 😏🤔😆😆
😄😄😄👍
Trevor Noah you legend. Keep it blazin #VolcanicAFRICA

Atleast, the crowd compensated him with a resounding ovation at the end.
I like him he is funny

“Cute crimes” 😂
Love his Nelson Mandela’s voice!
😄😄😄👍👍
I love how he used the opportunity to honour Nelson Mandela
because he is so intelligency
Trevor Noah, my man.. ❤️
Trevor I am laughing guttural. What a comedy! I can’t have enough of your “comedy”. Lol.
Ah this is so brilliant :)!
not sure they caught trevors subtle jokes..do they know who nelson Mandela is and how he talks?
carol berry yeah I wondered that too but how on earth could they no know Mandela?
If it's a posh audience than they know
Nah thats the English (upper class) audience in hysterics.
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.

Well done, a true and only factual representation of the United Kingdom today and...yesterday.
Thank you my Dear
wow Trevor is great The Master of Comedy
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
lol
Go to Auckland New Zealand 20minute delays are perfectly normal for trains and buses happens every goddam day.
The Nelson Mandela part🤣🤣🤣
LOL!! I can't believe I missed this. 😘😘
I really like this guy
Trevor are you mad to be this awesome lol , you truly are a funny guy.
O Lovely set!!! 👍👏👍👏👍 💗💗💗
2018 who else watching
Driver, take me to Piccadilly Circus please
Ok, we find it together eh ?
😁😁😁
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.
If this was Trevor in South Africa, he would be like " ee dead dead... I'm so dead! Ee deadth by dead crowd!! Aaish..."😂😂😂😂
Aww man, I wanted to watch Simon Cowell at the end there.
He has a lot of content but i think this performance was just to educate people about south africa.
You are correct, Trevor, Nelson would "fall" to try to make it better. Gaia bliss and keep you.
Great performance
Lovely Mr Noah
So I robbed them! roflolmao
Congratulations Trevor Noah - the new Daily Show host! Jon Stewart will be missed.
No he won't
Trevor Noah for President of South Africa. Let the Presidential Comedy Hour begin!!! The Venting Vigilante.
Ricardo Francis awwwww but we love him in America
I never doubted you for a minute! I was cracked up the second I saw your face ready to drop the bomb.com hahahaaa
That accent is priceless.
love it
Trevor himself announced his entry!
The crowd was dead but the pay check was alive and kicking!
did very well as always...what a crowd though
The Nelson Mandela part🤣🤣🤣🤣👌
Terrific.
Simon Cowell AND Trevor Noah... *ANGELS SINGING* AAAAAAAHHHHH....
he is d best comedian in the world
Trevor is the best comedian - dead or alive
That's so true 😁
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
I agree it was not his best. He was rushing.
THE CROWD OMGGGGGG ITS DEADDDDDD i feel sorry for him ffs
"never seen a train system delayed in my life" hahahaha wait until you get here to Philippines😂
U guys were great😅
Just Brillant !! Christopher Hitchens would had been happy to listen the last part.
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.
Bravo 👏 👏👏
I swear, English stand-up, is weird. There is so-little nuance that it's no wonder that the audience barely laughs . . .
Sorry, I have to disagree. British stand-up comedians are some of the best in the world.

Jayneel Ramjee
I will. Thanks for the suggestion :D
Well he's not English anyway he's South African.
"I've never seen a train system so delayed in my life"
You should definitely visit Germany
LOL Obviously you've never visited the UK.
As a German who lived in the UK for a few years: Nope. It's worse in the UK.
He looks very attractive here
