Amazing background to the comic genius Trevor Noah

Amazing background to the comic genius Trevor Noah. The personal and political are both part of his comedy and this film shows him calmly confronting situations that would petrify most of us. We get to meet his South African mother and grandmother who are both truly admirable people. During the making of the doco his mother was actually a victim of a serious crime and it's frightening what the outcome could have been. This is one of the serious moments in the film that allow us to see where Noah came from and truly opened my eyes to South African society. That's why this is more than just a record of "putting-on-a-show." Watch out for his impression of Nelson Mandela at his 91st birthday party - drunk! Had me in stitches.

Trevor Noah's natural instinct to deflect and bluff

Trevor Noah's natural instinct to deflect and bluff means you'll get little insight into the man (versus say Harmontown which lays Dan Harmon bare) but in place of feeling is a litany of fact. The story of Trevor's background, his history and his sharp rise through South Africas nascent stand up circuit post apartheid, together with a glimpse of his nations turbulent race politics make for a complelling documentary.
