Apologies…. Apartheid
Love Trevor. Have not picked up book yet. Not sure I want to read about Apartid..his mom and dad..he derives much of his act from his life experience. A noble really neat performer.
Thanks senior planet…will try to get copy of book. On a budget, not sure of price.
I am a big fan of Trevor and I knew immediately I would enjoy this book. He draws you in. He makes you feel his experiences.
I’m reading along and laughing at his comical outlook on life and the next minute I’m close to tears as he and his mother are facing the cruelty of life.
I might have been the only person on the planet who didn’t know who Trevor was when I started reading the book. Now I know. He is living proof of the triumph of a thoughtful mind.
Try to catch his “Daily Show” on Comedy Central channel (690) in Queens. It is on Monday through Thursday, from 11:00 PM until 11:45 PM, and Trevor does it live from his apartment. It usually repeats the next day in the morning or afternoon, depending where you live. A great person.
