FEB. 23: Trevor Noah
When Trevor Noah, host of Comedy Central’s Emmy- and
Peabody Award-winning The Daily Show, was a child (in
apartheid South Africa, where interracial relationships
were banned), his South African biracial mom converted
to Judaism (his white dad is Swiss). “I lived my life as a
part-white, part-black but then sometimes Jewish kid, and
I didn’t understand because she didn’t make me convert,”
he told NPR’s Terry Gross. “When I turned 13, she threw
me a bar mitzvah, but nobody came because nobody knew
what the hell that was. I only had black friends — no one
knows what the hell you’re doing. So, it was just me and
my mom and she’s celebrating and she’s reading things to
me in Hebrew.” Noah, who recounts his mother’s religious
pursuits and is always searching for new information
as a “gift” she gave him, puts on his stand-up hat for a
headlining performance at the Fox Theatre. In addition to
various stand-up comedy specials, Noah was the subject
of friend David Paul Meyer’s documentary, You Laugh but
It’s True, about his career in post-apartheid South Africa.
He’s also the author of the New York Times’ bestselling
Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood. $35-
$75. (800) 745-3000; 313presents.com.
