Trevor Noah: Mzansi comes to the defence of comedian after Americans call him unfunny

• A controversial tweet surfaced on American Twitter stating that not a single person in a picture that included Trevor Noah, Stephen Colbert among others
• South African comedy fans came to the defence of Trevor Noah, with many stating that his early material hits differently
• Fans mentioned Trevor Noah's ability to perform in various countries, including African third-world countries, and rewrite his shows to tailor them to the local culture

South African comedian Trevor Noah has had Mzansi laughing for what seems like ages. His perfect blend of whacky and witty has carved him a place in comedy as one of Africa's greatest prospects. At least here in Southy.

American Twitter think Trevor is not funny

American Twitter, however, would argue otherwise. In a recent post, one user took the initiative of posting what would quickly become a controversial take.
