The comedian announced dates for his new stand up tour 'Back To Abnormal'
SA born comedian Trevor Noah has announced his upcoming stand-up comedy tour Back To Abnormal that will take place later this year, however all the dates listed so far are only for people in the US and Europe.
Trevor excitedly took to his Instagram to share the great news about his first stand-up comedy tour since the world was hit by the global Covi-19 pandemic.
“I'm excited to announce my brand new Back To Abnormal World Tour with a special ticket presale going down tomorrow at 10am! We're coming back, baby!” he said.
In the video that accompanied the announcement, the comedian said he was delighted that after having being shut down by the pandemic for a while, he was back to doing what he loves.
“The pandemic shut us down for a while but now we are back . I'll be on the road in the fall.”
According to Trevor's website, his “world tour” available dates show that the tour will start in September and go on until December.
Unless, he's yet to add more dates and locations, SA is not on the list.
Watch the announcement video below:
Trevor has written, produced, and starred in 11 comedy specials, including his most recent, Trevor Noah: Son of Patricia which launched in November 2018 on Netflix. The special touches on racism, immigration, camping and more.
Trevor Noah: Son Of Patricia received a NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Variety Show, as well as a Grammy Award nomination for Best Comedy Album.
Even though his stand-up was on hold, the The Daily Show with Trevor Noah has been thriving as the comedian adapted his show to better suit the pandemic and dominated the internet with content.
Meanwhile, South Africans weren't impressed that Trevor left them out.

It's a North American and European tour. Not a world tour. Stop it. You didn't even include any African and Asian cities. So its not a world tour.
