As much a humorist as a comedian, Russell doesn’t really tell jokes. Rather, he uses his wry observations on the subjects of race, class and culture to illuminate our human shortcomings with the sizzling accuracy of a well-aimed laser. His quick wit and ability to mimic language and accents allows Russell to create characters of all races and cultures and forge an immediate bond with his audiences, regardless of their racial and cultural background. Outsourced has gone eleven times Platinum in his home country of Canada.
Russell Peters is already a comedy superstar in much of the world. In April 2005, Russell was the first South Asian to headline and sell-out the Apollo Theatre in New York City.

Russell has been nominated for four Gemini Awards [the Canadian equivalent of the Emmys].
