Russell Peters, rapidly rising star of Canadian Comedy, is a ‘one man melting pot of Asian characters and accents’. His one man show has toured the globe bringing his special brand of comedy to audiences in far flung countries such as China, South Africa and New Zealand as well as the U.S. and Europe. The debut DVD, ‘Russell Peters – Two Concerts… One Ticket’, is being released by VDI Entertainment on 16 October 2006 and will feature two concerts for the price of one.
Peters, of Anglo Asian descent, has a preference for hip hop over Bollywood movies and music. One of the few Asian comics to tour globally, Peters draws on cultural influences to create his hilariously observed ethnic parodies. “Chinese people and Indian people cannot do business together because Indian people can't get along without a bargain, and Chinese people cannot give you a bargain. Their objective is to get every penny from you. And ours is to keep every penny.” |
