As a very proudly South African girl and a huge fan of Trevor, it really is a treat to see how well he is doing.

A lot of my friends thought that he would not take off in the USA, cause of his jokes, and his accent  - they might not get him or where he was coming from.

Apparently as I thought, he did very well and has taken off.

I love stand up comedy and I am not going to pretend to know everything about it, but from all the comedians, I have watched, he really stands out.

Some of the negative comments I read about him, made me laugh, being bought up in an apartheid South Africa, he is the last person you can call racist, as well as his jokes being weak, that’s even funnier .. but not as funny as Trevor!
