Russell Peters

Russell Peters lays it down on the Comedy Now stage in this one hour special.

A Canadian with ancestry hailing from India, he has come up with a unique and smart set of comedy routines and jokes. The jokes include those on cultural differences, interesting takes on homophobia and conflicts outside of North America for humor that most comics would not even begin to think of.

Peters' comic routines on this episode are about Asians, Hispanics, English accents, terrorists, and his parents, among other things. This is Russell Peters' first stand-up special to be produced by himself.

Russell Peters Red, White, and Brown continues to have the theme of targeting racial stereotypes in a comedic fashion. Like prior albums, Russell Peters also imitates various accents for a greater comedic effect. He also uses impromptu to engage his audience and to improve the quality of his performance. One large difference in this show however, is that this album involves comedy on Russell Peters' self-reflection on his trip to India. Peters describes how he went on the plane with Indian pride but "turned Canadian" as soon as he stepped off the plane. This further leads to more observations regarding race and culture.
