Comedian Trevor Noah to perform live in Kuala Lumpur on Nov 9

Trevor Noah will perform his first show in Malaysia on 9 November at Ideas LIVE Arena, announced by organisers LOL Asia and BOHM.

Known for his global perspective, Noah became famous after taking over The Daily Show in 2015 and has since expanded his work in various media.

Presale tickets are available on 9 September at 10am through Fantopia, with general sales starting on 11 September at 10am.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 8 — Global comedy star Trevor Noah will make his long‑awaited Malaysian debut on Nov 9, with a one‑night stand‑up show at the Ideas LIVE Arena, organisers LOL Asia and BOHM announced in a press release.

The South African comedian, writer, producer and former Daily Show host is set to bring his trademark blend of sharp wit and global perspective to Kuala Lumpur, marking a milestone for the country’s fast‑growing live entertainment scene. The show begins at 8pm.

Noah, described in the release as a performer who “makes the world smaller by making us laugh at how differently — and how similarly — we experience it,” has built an international career spanning stand‑up, television, books and digital media.

He rose to global prominence after taking over The Daily Show in 2015, transforming it into a more internationally attuned platform during his seven‑year tenure. Since leaving the show in 2022, Noah has expanded his creative output, hosting the weekly What Now? With Trevor Noah podcast, running Day Zero Productions and the Trevor Noah Foundation, and releasing his 2026 Netflix special Trevor Noah: Joy in the Trenches . He also hosted the Grammy Awards for the sixth consecutive year in 2026.

LOL Asia CEO Rizal Kamal said bringing Noah to Malaysia was the result of a 14‑year effort. “Trevor belongs to a rare category of performer who can cross cultures, find the joke and still retain the humanity… We’ve waited a long time for this,” he said.

Noah’s bestselling memoir Born a Crime and his second book Into the Uncut Grass have cemented his reputation as a storyteller who bridges personal history with global themes. His Off The Record world tour sold out venues across five continents, including the Hollywood Bowl, New York’s Beacon Theatre and London’s O2 Arena.

Presale tickets open on Sept 9 at 10am via Fantopia, while general sales begin on September 11 at 10am.

吉隆坡，9 月 8 日讯——主办方 LOL Asia 和 BOHM 在一份新闻稿中宣布，全球喜剧明星 Trevor Noah 将于 11 月 9 日在马来西亚 Ideas LIVE Arena 举办一场单口喜剧表演，这将是他期待已久的马来西亚首秀。

这位南非喜剧演员、作家、制片人兼前《每日秀》主持人即将携其标志性的犀利幽默和全球视野来到吉隆坡，这标志着该国快速发展的现场娱乐行业迎来了一个里程碑。演出将于晚上8点开始。

新闻稿中将诺亚描述为一位“通过让我们笑出我们体验世界的方式有多么不同——以及有多么相似——来缩小世界”的表演者，他已在单口喜剧、电视、书籍和数字媒体领域建立了国际职业生涯。

LOL亚洲首席执行官Rizal Kamal表示，将Noah带到马来西亚是14年努力的成果。“Trevor属于那种罕见的能够跨越文化、找到笑点并保持人性化的表演者……我们为此等待了很久，”他说。

诺亚的畅销回忆录《天生有罪》和他的第二本书《走进未开垦的草地》巩固了他作为一位擅长将个人经历与全球主题相结合的叙事者的地位。他的“幕后故事”世界巡回演唱会横跨五大洲，场场爆满，其中包括好莱坞露天剧场、纽约灯塔剧院和伦敦O2体育馆。

预售票将于 9 月 9 日上午 10 点通过 Fantopia 开售，而公开售票将于 9 月 11 日上午 10 点开始。
