Career
Peters began performing in Toronto in 1989
He has since gone on to perform in several countries worldwide
In 1992, Peters met comedian George Carlin, one of his biggest influences
who advised him to get on stage whenever and wherever possible
Peters said he "took that advice to heart, and I think that's the reason I am where I am now.“
In 2007, 15 years later, he hosted one of Carlin's last shows before Carlin's death the following year.

Humor
Russell’s type of humor is crude humor
using humor to highlight racial, ethnic, class and cultural stereotypes
He often refers to his own experiences growing up in an Indian family, and impersonates the accents of various ethnic groups to poke fun at them.
He does stand up comedy

Common Themes / Ages
Russell mainly focuses on his own race in his stand up comedies.
Russell’s comedy is appropriate to an extent to the point that he will make fun of his own kind and swear. He goes over the line all the time.
The appropriate age group for this stand up comedy is for adult’s only!

Canadian
Russell is born in Toronto, so he might brag about it at the beginning of each show.
He mainly talks about other countries and ethnic groups than about Canada.
