Russell Peters’ “Act Your Age World Tour”
One of Rolling Stone’s 50 Best Comics of All Time, Russell Peters started doing stand-up at the age of 19 at open mics in his native Toronto and spent the next 15 years honing his craft at clubs across Canada and the UK. In 2004, Peters gained critical and global recognition for his CTV “Comedy Now!” special and soon became the first comedian to sell out Toronto’s Air Canada Centre in 2007. Peters went on to set attendance records at venues from Madison Square Garden to The Sydney Opera House and London’s O2 Arena, where he broke the UK attendance record for highest number of tickets sold for an individual comedy show.
His subsequent tours were captured in his successful specials broadcast on Showtime and Comedy Central: “Outsourced” in 2006; “Red, White and Brown” in 2008; and “The Green Card Tour” in 2010. In 2013, Peters became the first comedian to create a Netflix Original Comedy Special. Peters’ most recent tour “The Deported World Tour” was seen by more than 400,000 fans in 40 cities across 20 countries and culminated in the stand-up special, “Russell Peters Deported” on Amazon Prime in January 2020.
Peters has been awarded Gemini, Peabody, Emmy and Canadian Screen Awards for his hosting, producing and acting talents. His last TV series “The Indian Detective” set a Canadian viewership record for Bell Media /CTV in 2017 and was released globally on Netflix.
