We live in a world where one country is fighting with the other trying to push their bullshit agendas on everyone. There has been a lot of time when the artists are forced not to show their talents to the public. Almost all forms of the artist must have faced the problem of injustice towards them. Comedians play an important role in society, they allow us to think out of the box. It gives the power to question the work of others, by promoting the Freedom of Speech. According to George Carlin an American stand-up comedian, famous for his black comedy, “Governments don’t want well informed, well-educated people capable of critical thinking. This is against their interests.” Comedy has the power to convince the majority of message the messenger is trying to give due to which advertisements make use of it to sell their products.

In his book, Born a Crime, he has revealed that his birth is technically illegal. Interracial sexual relations and marriages were illegal and outlawed. It became legal just after the year he was born. Just like other common people he was also scared of facing the camera and took a lot of courage to face it with confidence. One of his many skills is, he is able to speak in many different languages like English, Afrikaans, Zulu, Xhosa, Tswana, and Tsonga. He also wants to learn Spanish once he fully learns German.
What Noah is today is no work of magic but his determination and patience. Growing up in the most racially troubled place dealing with poverty with the only good reason, his mother was a challenge. His humorous nature can be a gift from God but the effort with which he showed it to the world was the true challenge.
