Wake N Bake is my first ever stand-up special and as you may have guessed from the title, it’s a heartwarming personal story about the age-old tradition of a family waking up together and then making bread together for breakfast to foster love. Looool jk it’s just a collection of many stupid jokes. Releasing this Friday, January 10th!

Trevor Noah

After much anticipation of wanting the Daily Show host to put a tick mark/check next to his tour to India, people were disheartened to hear about the cancellation. As disappointing this news was, it’s a great time to revisit the comic’s previous work with this Netflix special and hope for an even more exciting show once this storm has passed.
