Dr. Phillips Center Adds Second Show to Trevor Noah's Orlando Engagement ImageDr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts and AEG Presents announce a second show added, by popular demand, to comedian and television host Trevor Noah's Orlando engagement this January.

The most successful comedian in Africa and host of the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central will play an additional performance at the Bob Carr Theater on Saturday, January 27, 2018 at 10 p.m. Tickets to the second performance will go on sale to the general public Friday, November 3, 2017 at 10 a.m.

Limited seats remain for the previously announced 7 p.m. Tickets start at $39.50 and may be purchased online at drphillipscenter.org, by calling 844.513.2014 or by visiting the Dr. Phillips Center Box Office at 445 S. Magnolia Avenue, Orlando, FL 32801 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, or 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. Saturday. Online and phone ticket purchases are subject to handling fees. The Bob Carr Theater is located off the Dr. Phillips Center campus at 401 W. Livingston Street in Orlando.

Noah debuted his 9th new comedy special, "Afraid of the Dark" in February of this year on Netflix. The special was shot before a packed house in New York City at the Beacon Theatre on November 5, 2016. Last year, Noah debuted his one-hour stand-up special, "Trevor Noah: Lost in Translation," on Comedy Central. He was the subject of David Paul Meyer's award-winning documentary film, "You Laugh, But It's True," which tells the story of his remarkable career in post-apartheid South Africa. His Showtime comedy special, "Trevor Noah: African American," premiered in 2013. He was nominated for "Personality of the Year" at the 2014 and 2015 MTV Africa Music Awards and won the award in 2015. Trevor's success has also spanned to sold-out shows over 5 continents.

Born in South Africa to a black South African mother and a white European father, Noah has hosted numerous television shows, including South Africa's music, television and film awards, and two seasons of his own late night talk show, "Tonight with Trevor Noah." Noah joined the "The Daily Show with John Stewart" in 2014 as a contributor.

In November 2016, Trevor released his first book, "Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood," which was an instant New York Time Best Seller. Additionally, his performance on the "Born a Crime" audiobook was Audible's highest-rated audiobook of 2016, and it has remained one of the top-selling titles on the platform since its release. The book also recently received two NAACP Image Awards, one of Outstanding Literary Work by a Debut Author and another for Outstanding Literary Work in the Biography/Auto-Biography category. The book is a collection of personal stories about growing up in South Africa during the last gasps of apartheid and the tumultuous days of freedom that came with its demise. Already known for his incisive social and political commentary, here, Noah turns his focus inward, giving readers an intimate look at the world that shaped him.
