It will always be amazing to us when someone whose native tongue isn’t English figures out how to handily do stand-up in English. It’s another whole level of fluency in a language that, like so many things in comedy, just can’t be taught.
Daniel Simonsen who is originally, as mentioned above, from Norway made his very first American TV appearance last night on Late Night with Seth Meyers and, to our point, has managed to toy with nuances of English as well as his play it up with his hilariously bone dry stage persona.
So, please enjoy Daniel Simonsen’s very first U.S. TV/late night appearance here.
