Russell Peters

Russell Peters is a very funny comedian although his jokes can go a bit too far. Most of his jokes are on racism and he adds to that, but whatever it’s on, it is one big laugh. He is very talented and can do almost any accent. He’s done Chinese, American, Canadian, Indian, African and many more. He has performed worldwide in front of many audiences, and is one of the favorited comedians of all times. Russell Peters is of Indian origin, but lives in America at the moment. He is just your average man that you come across everyday, except he can make you laugh anytime. I would like to show you a small extract from one of his sites on his biography, and this extract shows his popularity, in the sense how many tickets he has sold and the records regarding it.

The Legend of Russell Peters

Russell Peters is already a comedy superstar in much of the world. During a recent tour of Dubai, Russell sold tickets at the rate of one ticket every two seconds – crashing all the online sales outlets as soon as the tickets went on-sale . In April 2005, Russell was the first South Asian to headline and sell-out the Apollo Theatre in New York City. In June 2007, Russell became the first comedian to sell-out Toronto’s Air Canada Centre – performing for over 30,000 fans over two nights. In addition to this first-time feat, in February 2008, Russell became one of only a handful of comedians to ever headline and sell-out the world famous Madison Square Garden.

As you can see there are quite a few records and many tickets that were bought, including the ever famous Madison Square Garden, and had a sell-out night there.

That’s all I got on Russell Peters. If you don’t know him yet you can look him up on youtube, many videos to be seen. I particularly like Chinese- Indian controversy, African Names, and a really famous video ‘Somebody gonna get a hurt real bad.’
