The new "Daily Show" host Trevor Noah just started a few weeks ago, but he is carving out some time to hit the road and do some stand up.

One of those dates is at Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre Saturday November 21, his first trip to Atlanta for a show.

Tickets go on sale Friday, October 23  at 10 a.m. I don't have pricing information yet and since I'm going on vacation tomorrow, I apologize. You'll have to go to Ticketmaster.com next week to get the details.

Noah, 31, joined "The Daily Show" with a few new correspondents but most of the same writing staff. He is bringing his uniquely South African point of view to the equation but not surprisingly, his ratings are not matching those of his predecessor Jon Stewart. That may take time.

Here's a taste of his stand up talking about growing up as a mixed-race child in South Africa:
