Trevor Noah’s comedy special Son of Patricia was released worldwide on November 20, 2018, and the global Netflix launch quickly drew attention from fans.

The South African comedian had spent weeks promoting the special ahead of release, building anticipation before the title finally went live for viewers around the world.

The set mixes lighter material with more serious observations, including stories from a holiday in Bali and reflections on racism in America. That blend once again places Noah in the space he has made his own: comedy that moves between personal experience and social commentary.

For viewers who have followed his work beyond stand-up, the special adds another layer to the picture already offered in his book Born a Crime. The release gave fans a new chance to see how Noah frames his life, his travels and the issues he chooses to tackle on stage.

Netflix also circulated a trailer for the special as part of the rollout.
