TORONTO – Comedian Trevor Noah will perform at Toronto’s version of the Just For Laughs festival just before his debut as “The Daily Show” host.

The South African native has a gig at JFL42 on Sept. 26, two days before he’s scheduled to take over Jon Stewart’s position on “The Daily Show.”

The festival, which runs Sept. 24-Oct. 3, also includes Craig Ferguson, Patton Oswalt, Hannibal Buress, Bill Burr, Natasha Leggero and Gilbert Gottfried.

Noah, who will also appear at Montreal’s Just for Laughs festival in July, will be among the headliners performing at the Sony Centre for the Performing Arts.

The fourth edition of JFL42 features over 100 shows.

Festival passes go on sale on Friday.
