Russell Peters
September 29, 1970 was the day the golden child was brought into this word by Eric and Maureen Peters.
Russell Dominic Peters grew up in Brampton, Ontario, where he would grow up experiencing the GTA's ever growing ethnic diversity. His parents, along with his brother and partner in crime, Clayton immigrated from India before he was born.
Russell got his start in Toronto in the late 80's and has since gone on to perform in places such as the UK, mainland China, India and the United States, all of said countries have also ended up in his routine in some form or another.
Russell's routine focuses on his upbringing among the vast majority of ethnicities he grew up with as a kid. He picks at stereotypes of all groups which doesn't alienate any one ethnicity. A large part of routine is his family life, calling on many past experiences with his father, who was a very traditional Indian man as well as other tendencies and stereotypes related to his Indian culture.
Russell also talks about Toronto's large Carribean population which have included some of his best material, such as his dad trying to be cool with his Jamaican friends trying to speak their slang.
Russell has been nominated for four Gemini Awards as well as being nominated and winning many comedy awards around the world. On top of that Russell's stand-up DVD's have sold millions of copies world wide. His latest release is titled "Red, White and Brown". It was filmed on February 2nd, 2008 and was released this October in Canada and in the United States in November.
Russell's comedy routines never get tiring and it's not only those who live in Toronto that find him ridiculously hillarious. People all over the world relate to and enjoy this man's insanely consistant routines and will continue to do so for years. Russell Peters, Tdot's Golden Child and comedic genius.
