One of the most sought after stand-up comedians across the globe, Russell Peters has been cracking up audiences for many years now. The Canadian stand-up comic with an Indian lineage has been making fun of communities, race, stereotypes and sensitive issues, ever since his career began in 1989.

For his latest act, Deported, the 48-year-old decided to come to India and will be touring across the country, doing what he does best – make audiences giggle like never before.

For the Canadian comic, it has been quite a journey and he loves it as much as he did the first time he got on stage to perform. Russell also opened up about the big turning point in his career and how that aspect changed everything for him.

“I still love it as much as I did the first time when I got a laugh back in 1989. However, I’d like to think that I’m maybe a bit better today than I was back then,” Russell told

However, things weren’t hunky dory in the beginning. In fact, it was after 15 years into stand-up comedy when Russell finally got his big break with the Canadian comedy series called Comedy Now.

Best known for doing accents, his fans will tell you that no one does accents better than Russell, at least not in the comedy sphere. Most of his acts are sprinkled with a healthy dose of accents. His Asian accent, in particular, is a total fan favourite. But he never overdoes it to a point where it becomes insensitive.

For deported, Russell Peters decided to come to India. The act will mark 30 years of the comic in the stand-up industry and according to Peters, this one will be a lot more personal and self-deprecating in the funniest way possible of course.
