Laughter by Trevor Noah

Trevor Noah of Comedy Central’s The Daily Show knows this well; laughter is an effective tool that can break down barriers and dismantle prejudices. With millions of viewers worldwide laughing along with him on his show The Daily Show, Trevor Noah is one of the most recognized names in television. However, Noah’s success did not come easily; taking on topics that challenge and make millions laugh takes bravery and skill–something which Noah certainly displays by narrating this book with the same wit he is known for and making millions laugh along with him. His trademark snark and social commentary make him an irresistible television host!

Patricia Nombuyiselo stands as a source of strength throughout this story, providing unwavering love and fierce determination to help raise her children despite any challenges they might encounter. One key lesson Patricia imparted upon Noah was seeing life through gray scale rather than black or white lenses; this became instrumental when dealing with political injustice by poking fun rather than condemning.

Chapter 5’s quote emphasizes the powerful influence of Trevor’s mother on him, giving him a name without any cultural or family connections to start creating his life anew. He takes this philosophy with him into the entertainment industry where he creates himself into an individual with unique possibilities ahead of him.

Noah gains another important lesson from his mother about the power of genuine, altruistic love. Her dedication is evident in how she treats him and supports his endeavors – particularly when he begins selling music illegally. Additionally, she instils strong beliefs in education as she makes it her mission to ensure Noah can pursue his goals.

As Noah progresses through childhood and adulthood, he uses his quick wit and understanding of education’s significance to carve out his own niche in the entertainment industry. His experiences as a biracial child living under apartheid South Africa are depicted throughout his story, yet what sets him apart as an accomplished comedian is his commitment to combatting injustices and his ability to see both good and evil sides of any given situation. This book is an inspiring and thought-provoking memoir that serves as a valuable reminder of how laughter can help change. Anyone struggling to find their place in this world should read it; you’ll come away feeling inspired and empowered to be who you want to be no matter the odds against it.
