A long-standing bond with Indian audiences
Russell Peters has a deep connection with India, having toured the country multiple times over nearly two decades. From his Somebody! Tour in 2007 to Notorious, Almost Famous, Deported, and most recently Act Your Age in 2024, his shows in India have consistently drawn massive crowds and sold-out venues.
Speaking about his return, Peters shared, “I love coming to India. It’s home. It’s my roots and one of my favourite places to visit. Performing here is always an incredible experience- the energy, the food, hospitality and the audiences, who are smart, lively and have supported me from day one. I can’t wait to come back!”
From Toronto clubs to global arenas
A fixture on Rolling Stone’s list of the 50 Best Comics of All Time and a regular on Forbes’ highest-paid comedians rankings, Peters began his journey at open mics in Toronto at just 19. His breakthrough came with a televised comedy special in 2004, and by 2007, he became the first comedian to sell out Toronto’s Air Canada Centre.
Since then, he has set attendance records at world-famous venues including Madison Square Garden, the Sydney Opera House and London’s O2 Arena. With performances in over 40 countries and tours that consistently rank among the world’s highest-grossing, Russell Peters remains one of stand-up comedy’s most influential and in-demand voices.
