One of the comedy world's fastest-rising stars tells his wild coming-of-age story during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa and the tumultuous days of freedom that followed. Noah provides something deeper than traditional memoirists: powerfully funny observations about how farcical political and social systems play out in our lives. Noah was born illegal - the son of a white, Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother, who had to pretend to be his nanny or his father's servant in the brief moments when the family came together.
