Carl Joshua Ncube: Confessions of a Zimbabwean comic

Meet Carl Joshua Ncube, the “biggest Zimbabwean stand-up comedian in the world.” He slings a set of pointed jokes about life under the 94-year-old perpetual president (as he says: “Robert Mugabe has been president for 37 years. I’m 38.”), calling out the country's dysfunction and bemoaning his ever present "president envy."

NOTE: Comments are disabled on this video. We made this difficult decision for the TED Archive because we believe that a well-moderated conversation allows for better commentary from more people and more viewpoints. Studies show that aggressive and hateful comments silence other commenters and drive them away; unfortunately, YouTube's comment moderation tools are simply not up to the task of allowing us to monitor comments on so many videos at once. (We'd love to see this change, YouTube.) So for now, if you'd like to comment on this talk, please use Facebook, Twitter or G+ to discuss with your networks.
