Trevor Noah will return to Nashville's Ryman Auditorium after 'Daily Show' exit
What's Trevor Noah planning after he signs off — for good — from "The Daily Show" next month? A trip to Music City, for starters.
The comedian has announced an extensive, year-spanning 2023 standup comedy tour, which kicks off January 20 and will bring him back to Nashville's Ryman Auditorium on May 5.
Tickets start at $49 and go on sale at 11 a.m. Friday, November 18 via ryman.com.
This will be Noah's fourth appearance at the Ryman. He last performed there in 2017, and had to cancel a two-night stand in 2020 due to the pandemic.
"I loved it so much," he told the Tennessean in 2016, recalling his first trip to Nashville and Lower Broadway.
"When I first came out there, I had all the stereotypes in my head. I was like, 'Oh man. Cowboy people, what's that going to be like? Are people going to (accept me)?' And then at the end of the night, you're line-dancing with a bunch of strangers having the time of your life. Bouncing from bar to bar, listening to country music, and you realize at the end of the day, you're all just people."
