packed house in New York City at the Beacon Theatre. In 2016, Noah debuted his one-hour stand-up special, Trevor

In November 2016, Trevor released his first book “Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood,” which was an
instant New York Times bestseller. Additionally, his performance on the Born a Crime audiobook was Audible’s highest
rated audiobook of 2016, and has remained one of the top selling titles on Audible since its release. The book also
received the Thurber Prize for American Humor and two NAACP Image Awards, one for Outstanding Literary Work by a Debut Author and another for Outstanding Literary Work in the Biography/Auto-Biography category.
The book is collection of personal stories about growing up in South Africa during the last gasps of apartheid and the
tumultuous days of freedom that came with its demise. Already known for his incisive social and political commentary,
here Noah turns his focus inward, giving readers an intimate look at the world that shaped him. These are true stories,
sometimes dark, occasionally bizarre, frequently tender, and always hilarious. Whether subsisting on caterpillars during
months of extreme poverty or making comically hapless attempts at teenage romance, from the time he was thrown in
jail to the time he was thrown from a speeding car driven by murderous gangsters, the experiences covered in this book
will shock and amaze, even as they leave you rolling on the floor with laughter. The audiobook version performed by
Trevor is currently available from Audible Studios, and is the #1 most commented-on and #4 most listened to title of 2017. “Born a Crime” is currently nominated for three Audie Awards in the “Autobiography/Memoir,” “Best Male Narrator,” and “Best Narration by the Author” categories.Noah’s untitled follow-up will be published by Random House and Audible Studios on October 23rd and will pick up where “Born a Crime” ends, following Noah’s journey from an aspiring young comedian in reborn South Africa to the cusp of global success.
