Profile

Russell Peters is an Indian Canadian stand up comedian and actor from Toronto, Canada.

Peters has traveled much of the world performing his comedy routines. In February 2008, Russell became one of only a handful of comedians to ever headline and sell-out the Madison Square Garden. His DVD, "Red White and Brown" was also recorded at Madison Square Garden.

Russell’s comedy is rooted in the reality of growing up brown in white Canadian society. “My family and I are Anglo-Indian,” Russell explains. “Anglo-Indians are a community of Indians from India who mixed with the British when they occupied India. Both of my parents are Anglo-Indian and their parents were Anglo-Indians and so on.”

Russell’s last DVD and CD, "Outsourced," was taped before a sold out audience at the Warfield Theatre in San Francisco, and provides viewers and listeners an excellent overview of Russell’s comedy skills.

Russell Peter's present tour encompasses Canada, the U.K. and the U.S. It feature his greatest hits plus new material. His tour stops include Atlantic City.
