I love searching for new comedians on Netflix because Netflix
has fully embraced stand up comedy more than most with the exception of Comedy
Central. Netflix is putting out comedy by some favorites like Todd Glass, John
Mulaney, and even Bill Burrs last special came out on Netflix first and his new
special is set to drop in December on Netflix.
On stand up comedy alone its totally worth the money but Netflix is not
why I decided to do this post, I decided to do this post because I wanted to
let people know about a comedian I had never heard of until I saw him on Netflix
by the name of Trevor Noah.
When you talk about a black comic you think of comics like
Tracy Morgan, Chris Rock, and Eddie Murphy.
But I think this guy is in a weirder category like Hannibal Buress, he’s
not a Def Jam comic he is just a comic doing his own thing. Trevor Noah is
South African, his comedy and accent definitely reflect that. He comes to America with an outsiders
perspective about what it means to be American and black and African American
in modern day America. His observations
on the everyday things the Americans take for granted are sharp and hilarious.
His special, available on Netflix, African American is an hour of some of the best
comedy today. I believe that this kind of
smart comedy is a nice break from some of the mind numbing silliness. Even as cool as this special and comedian are
they are made all the cooler with the accent.
So when you get a chance check it out and enjoy some cool smart comedy.
