Trevor Noah's star has risen quickly.

But as Noah's fame has grown so has his material broadened. Gone are the insights into growing up under apartheid or making jokes about Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe. Instead, Noah works with more well-worn topics here: flying business class versus economy; men's relationships with their penises; cultural stereotypes. Not that there's anything wrong with that – Noah's natural charm and confident delivery elevate material that could fail in the hands of lesser performers.

He also takes us on a world tour, skewering topics like Donald Trump, Brexit, Russian aggression and more. His exceptional gift for mimicking accents (including our own) allows him to create vignettes of two or more characters, effectively and effortlessly segueing from stand-up to sketch comedy.

And while fans of The Daily Show might have expected him to focus more on the US and its current political craziness, Noah only briefly talks about his new home country. He's spent enough time here (or done enough research) to focus almost entirely on Australia and our own quirks for the first part of the show.

And while plenty of foreign comedians have offered their thoughts on AFL in the past, few have summarised how ridiculous it can seem to outsiders as well as Noah does.
