The Emmy Award-winning comedian Trevor Noah, who rose to fame as the host of the popular American satirical news programme, ‘The Daily Show’, is coming to the Principality for a one-night-only gig at the end of July. Here are all the details.
The Monte-Carlo Summer Festival is shaking up its programme this year with a new addition to the schedule: stand-up comedy. The star chosen to fill the inaugural slot for this genre of entertainment is South African comedian Trevor Noah.
The 40-year-old Johannesburg native started out in 2002 with a number of roles within the South African Broadcasting Corporation. He later became the host of a late-night talk show, ‘Tonight with Trevor Noah’, before going international.
In 2014, he landed the role of Senior International Correspondent for the hit American news programme, ‘The Daily Show’, then hosted by Jon Stewart. When Stewart left the following year, Noah stepped in as its new anchor.

He has hosted several prestigious events, including the 2021 and 2022 Grammys, as well as the White House Correspondents’ Dinner in 2022.
On top of this, Noah has won various awards, including a MTV Africa Music Award and a Primetime Emmy Award. He was named one of ‘The 35 Most Powerful People in New York Media’ by The Hollywood Reporter in 2017 and 2018, and in 2018, Time Magazine named him one of the ‘100 Most Influential People in the World’.
Most recently, this prolific funny man has taken his show on the road with a one-man stand-up comedy act that has already produced sold-out performances all over France.
He will be coming to the Principality on 29th July for a one-off performance at the Opéra Garnier. Tickets are still available and start from €120. For more information, click here.
