Russell Peters Tickets Continued
Russell Peters began performing in Toronto in 1989 and has performed in the UK,
Australia, China, Singapore, Denmark, South Africa, the Caribbean, Vietnam, Malaysia, New
Zealand, Sri Lanka, India, Dubai and the United States. He has been featured at such shows as
Montreal's Just for Laughs Comedy Festival, the Winnipeg Comedy Festival, and the Edinburgh
Festival. He hosted the Canada Day Comedy Festival 2006.
Russell Peters' comedy focuses largely around his Indian upbringing and racial
stereotypes, as he often parodies his parents and South Asian culture. Much of his material
explores the cultural divides between many different ethnicities and upbringings in a way that
includes many impressions. One reason for his popularity is that he engages the audience at his
shows, by talking to individuals and making some sort of remark at or about them.
His most recent comedy special "Russell Peters: Outsourced", aired on Comedy Central on
August 26, 2006. Outsourced was also made available on DVD and CD in stores on August 29,
2006. The DVD version features his uncensored "Outsourced" performance. The DVD was
extremely popular, especially in Canada, selling over 50,000 copies.
