i saw Russel in person one day i was working at an eyeglasses store in west palm beach florida and he said he needed new ones and then was performing that night at the improv. it was my coworkers birthday and he invited both of us to his show and took care of the seats. he was such an incredible and funny dude! can’t wait till i can see him again!
He is in a category of his own, like Robin Williams. Very, very funny. I hope I will see him live some day. He is unique, and no one is safe!!! Love that!!! ❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂
@@b_rabbit You sure? I know he did more that one Comedy Now! appearance, but this feels like the late ‘90s. I mean I could totally be wrong though. Wouldn’t be the first time.
Wdym downfall from here..he became the biggest indian Comedian in the world..I mean till now he's the biggest Comedian from India....Like till 2016 17 he was around performing with Stadiums and Arenas Crowded all sold out and then he kinda retired,went on a Haitus...if you don't call that Big than what is big?....its not like fell and got less famous...he became more and more famous jeeez
This set made waves in college dorm rooms in India around 2004/05/06. Students were sharing it via p2p, FTP networks, and were totally amazed at Russell's humor. I am one of those.
I swear. I saw this set at a friend's house , downloaded from LAN , after the infamous France vs Italy FIFA final , late into the night. 320 P resolution, but who cared? We were laughing our washed brown asses off!

Such a classic. Truly the set that changed his life forever. This made me fall in love with Russell and his comedy. All my friends in school also knew him and we quoted him all the time.
Man, 2006 for me, the year I went to college. As an Indian kid who grew up in India, we didn’t really have ‘stand up’ as such back then. This guy changed my world and turned me into a comedy fiend. 😄
As a white french guy, never been in touch with Indian culture, Russell made me feel like part of the Indian family. What a gem of a performance, just insanely funny !
Its a pity that French people know nothing about India except poverty n death which is in le monde, le parisien and french24. They think india is like Algeria or mali or somalia. And i live in Paris so i know this very well et je peux parler le français. French people are just obsessed by US and japan and a little by qubec
Watching in 2022.... this is brilliant. Proper funny, not victimising. Poking fun at a culture or race is a light year from racism and hatred. Pretty sure he could easily be cancelled in these woke, melt times
That's the piece that introduced me to Russell Peters. I was in summer school in 2007 - listening through the earphones with my classmates, cracking up. Till we got caught and yelled at. It was worth it. Good times.
Yelled at? When I was a university professor and giving my class an exam I noticed a guy with his headphones on. Hmmm. Could he possibly be cheating? I had no choice but to check and dreaded the possibility that Id have to fail him. I asked for the headphones, put them on - and it was rap music. VERY loud rap music. I handed them back. No problem. If he can focus and write an essay at the same time, more power to him. And I seem to remember that he got himself an A-.
@@brainmachine235 we were being kinda the loud crew in the back so we got heckled a little. It was summer school so materials were condensed and no time for a breather. But from what I remember he was a pretty cool teacher nonetheless. Just a little jeer and all moved along.
Possibly the best stand up comedy Russell Peters performed here! Got me through some really tough days back in 2005 when I first saw it on my university P2P file sharing network 😁😅
One of the best standup comics of all time. Love to watch him every time and laugh uncontrollably. He is probably the only Indian who loves making fun of Indian accents and is appreciated for what he does.
Its 2023 and im here getting my dose of laughter. Almost every year repeatedly, i will watch this same jokes, never fails to cheer me up. Still 1 of his best performances, never gets old.
…..this is the first time I saw Peter Russell too….I fell in love with his performance….especially the parental jokes….reminds me of mine even though I am Italian….😘😋💫
Even making jokes at every culture, he knows how to make it with respect. Very intelligent and funny. The best on my opinion, love him. Greetings from Brazil 🇧🇷
There is always something true about his humour and a genius for expressions, accents ,gestures just like the people he is impersonating .He is not mean or rude, just pure talents and makes me laugh with his momentum.
And he always makes fun of himself (and his culture) too. We were always told. Don't take yourself to seriously, live too short, humor starts with yourself if you can't laugh about yourself, you can't laugh about anyone.
Everyone in my grade used to quote a lot of this set. It was absolutely legendary and today im 33 and its just as funny ❤. Pure comedy gold, truly gifted and skilled.
Truly the taping that shot Russell Peters into stardom! And well deserved! And boy does it bring back memories: was in grade 7 at the time and it was the year 2011! Good times... a friend of mine introduced me to him and those are fond memories... Since then, grew up, went half way around the world to attend college, graduated, got a prestigious job and even got married but one thing that hasn't changed is my love for this man's comedy!!! True legend!!!
He's HILARIOUS. He even pokes fun at his own race. It's all in fun. I watch him over and over again. I laugh hard each time. I can't wait to see him on tour some day.
I wish we could still laugh together about our similarities and differences. Some PC people can’t /don’t want to know the difference between laughing together vs laughing at someone.
Russell if you see this comment, just know this is one of the best comedy specials out there, if not, the best. I watch this on repeat and laugh every single time
One of the best sets I've seen. Really left an impact on me and my homies at the time. Russell is such a legend. Also feels like Russell has had it with those downloading ba*t*rds 😂😂😂 n has decided to make some ad revenue money ✌🏼😎
" Big Girl" ..... perfect. This man is a true genius. Solid laughs and groans all the way through. He is one of the best in the biz. Gangsta... Thanks for this. respect from MAINE USA
I used to say the chinese joke about getting stuck to my friend all the time, we laughed so much. Unfortunately he passed last year and when it came to that part it reminded me of those moments.. rip buddy
I've watched this set before, but it had been a while. I absolutely agree, and look forward to, a world of beige people. Thank-you so much for the laughs!!! ✌😎🤘
Russell is on another level, a global ambassador for all people, I've watched lots of his videos fro his performances to a Russian audience to middle Eastern audiences , Africans Latinos, Asians and Europeans, he is spectacular really really funny !
Really enjoy his humor. No one is safe from his observations. I had never heard his stand-up before. Glad I came across him. It’s 2022 and I need to laugh about this stuff in the present environment. Thanks.
Russell is prolly one of my favorite comedians out there today, if not my favorite. I love how he touches on all sorts of colors, races, religions, demographics...but in a clean, clever, and respectful kind of way. He is smart, personable, and charming...a nice combo that makes him very likable on the stage. Very funny and very cool! 💜🤣💜
This is one of the funniest stand up sessions I’ve ever seen. Amazing talent and delivery. Please come to Houston Texas for a show!! I’ll be there with 50 fiends!!
This was my introduction to stand up comedy. And I just wanna say, no wonder you are the number one stand up comedian in the whole world. Thank you for this.
Unfortunately, I think his dad passed away not too long ago, (like less than a decade or so, if I'm not mistaken), but I do remember hearing something about that. There might actually be a Russell Peters biography where he either talks more about his dad, or has a conversation with him. That certainly would be amusing to see the 2 of them interacting together. I get the feeling his dad played a big part in how and why he became so funny. Their exchanges throughout his entire life would have given him more than enough material to create a hilarious comedy routine, which evidently he did, and it's definitely solid gold funny! Hope you can find more info on Russell. I'm sure it won't be a boring search of anything you'll find.✌️😎👉😂
@@allisoncolby7851 .. And his father speaks pretty well, I mean, not in the accent that Russell mimics. They were very close, apparently. I heard Russell say that in an interview.

Stop trying to sound important. You know that never happened
yeah that never happened
@@kenson5283🤣🤣🤣
Yeah that happened to me at the very same time.....what a coincidence

This is the standup that made Russell famous. He blew up after this. I am really happy for him. He is really funny. 😂👍
In fact, this was his peak.
It was all downhill from here.

Downhill?you pushing peoples buttons or you just clueless?

Russell has actually toned down his racial humour because of the current snowflake era..
Not the faintest idea what's funny about that weird American stand up "humour".
