He was born on the 29th of September, 1977.
The English comedian is Jewish and spoke about it after keeping it for a long time within himself.
Also, he opened up about his grandparents, who had to escape from Germany and were simply grateful to have somewhere they could live freely. It’s understandable that their first instinct was to keep their heads down.
The comedian’s family and he himself survived by keeping it quiet as they had all seen what happens when they put their head above the parapet, and it gets kicked in.
Likewise, talking about Judaism could get him in trouble, so his vibe is not to say anything.
Especially, in the place he lived, that is, America, Jews were always more integrated into the fabric of society because almost everyone was an immigrant, and no one stood out.
The comedian has always been careful to watch out every time he spoke something in front of people.
