Just For Laughs Drops Massive 2016 First Announce Featuring Trevor Noah

Sydney's favourite annual comedy extravaganza, this year Just For Laughs have enlisted a mammoth line-up of names to get you guffawing, led by none other than The Daily Show host Trevor Noah.

Having made his way to the top of his game starting off with segments on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno and Late Show With David Letterman, the South African funnyman finally took over Jon Stewart's late night show last year to critical acclaim.

Joining Noah will be English chat show extraordinaire Alan Carr bringing his show Yap, Yap, Yap! to our stages. With a slew of comedy awards under his belt, Carr's talk show is in its 16th series and has featured guests like Robin Williams, Miley Cyrus, Bette Midler, Adele and Naomi Campbell over the years.

To round out today's Just For Laughs announcement, San Francisco native Margaret Cho will be heading down to Australia with her array of work across film, TV, music and theatre. The Grammy-nominated comedian is not afraid to critique our social and political mores and has earned herself a number of accolades for this very reason.

Just For Laughs will also once again be producing the Stand Up Series exclusively for The Comedy Channel on Foxtel, consisting of six live shows filmed in front of a live audience, as well as bringing back the Just For Laughs All-Star Gala this year with a side-splitting line-up of local and international comedians.

Just For Laughs hits Sydney from 6 to 11 September. Head to their website for more info.
