Dulcé Sloan, the Emmy-winning comedian known for her years as a correspondent on “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah,” is set to perform at Emmaus Theatre next Saturday night. The show marks her second appearance at the Lehigh Valley venue, according to a theatre news release.
Sloan's stand-up routine kicks off at 8 p.m. on Nov. 7 at the theatre, located at 19 S. Fourth Street in Emmaus, Pennsylvania, as reported by WFMZ.com. Her official tour listings also show her heading to the Flyover Comedy Festival in St. Louis, Missouri, from Nov. 12 through 15, followed by a stop at the Grand Comedy Club in Escondido, California, on Nov. 20 and 21.
A Returning Act With Growing Accolades
Emmaus Theatre says this will be Sloan's second time performing there, per the news release. Theatre representative Robert Audibert framed the booking as a coup for the small borough, saying, “Big talent. Major accolades. Right here in Emmaus. We are bringing the stars into our community!”
Sloan's résumé backs up that enthusiasm. Her own official biography describes her as an Emmy Award winner and a two-time NAACP Image Award winner, and the theatre's release adds that she has also earned a Webby Award. The same release notes that Variety, Rolling Stone, and Time Out LA have each recognized her as a comedian to watch.
From Daily Show Desk to National Festival Circuit
Sloan built her national profile as a correspondent on “The Daily Show with Trevor Noah” before going on to host “The Daily Show” herself, according to her site. A University of Iowa performing-arts profile notes she spent seven years as a contributor to the program, and that her Comedy Central Presents special landed a spot on The New York Times' “Best Comedy of 2019” roundup, per the Performing Arts at Iowa page.
The theatre's news release describes her comedy routines as covering relationships, culture, and everyday life, delivered with what it calls an honest and unapologetic perspective. In January 2024, Sloan posed for a red carpet portrait at the 75th Emmy Awards at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, a photograph credited to Danny Moloshok.
