Trevor Noah was born to a Xhosa mother and Swiss father in the time of apartheid, when interracial relationships were banned. This, along with a township upbringing, gave Trevor Noah an unusual view of life in a tumultuous country.
The difference between South Africaโs numerous ethnic groups form the backbone of a hilarious stand-up routine in the days before Trevor Noah hit the international big time.

ย It is often suggested that artists of every kind โ painters, singers, writers and actors โ straddle a fine line between sanity and psychosis. And what about stand-up comedians? Perhaps Trevor Noah has the answer.
South Africans must face the facts: their countrymen, from the president on down, act in ways that can never be described as โnormalโ. But what exactly does normal mean? And is there a difference between normal in Sandton and normal in Soweto?

Laughter has no borders. Anyone who doubts this can consider Trevor Noahโs career arc. He started out by building a loyal following on local radio, and later took America by storm to land one of the most sought-after jobs on the international comedy landscape:ย the host of The Daily Show.
South Africaโs top comedian knows one thing for sure: in his own country, one had better keep oneโs mouth shut about issues such as affirmative action, the past or cultural differences, or one might be tainted by the most feared label of them all: RACIST.
