It will be Noah’s first live appearance with the University Musical Society since a virtual talk he delivered to students and members of the U-M community ahead of the 2020 presidential election.

Known for his social commentary on issues like immigration, incarceration, racism and the protest movement, Noah brings a unique perspective having grown up in apartheid in South Africa with a Black mother and a white father.

In his “Back to Abnormal” tour, he will offer political and social criticism of issues within the U.S. and around the world, according to a press release.

The award-winning television host and comedian is also an author, whose book “Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood” is a No. 1 New York Times bestseller. To date, the book has sold more than 1 million physical and digital copies.
