Russell Peters returns to the global stage with an all new world tour. The first phase of The Russell Peters Act Your Age World Tour starts in January 2022 with shows across the US and the UK.
After building his new act in clubs across the United States over the past year, Russell is back with his hilarious take on cancel culture, aging and the current state of the world. “I was supposed to start this tour in 2020, but then, I’m not sure if you guys heard, but something happened…”, says Peters.
Additional shows will be added and announced as the tour unfolds across Asia, Africa, Australia, the Middle East and of course, Canada.
The Act Your Age World Tour will be at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham on Tuesday 17th May, The SSE Arena, Wembley (London) on Thursday 19th May and the O2 Apollo in Manchester on Saturday 21st May. Tickets go on general sale from 9am on Friday 29th October.
Peters last played the UK in 2018 as part of his Deported World Tour which was seen by over 400,000 fans in 40 cities across 20 countries and culminated in the stand-up special, ‘Russell Peters Deported’, on Amazon Prime in January 2020.
Russell Peters was recently named as one of Rolling Stone’s 50 Best Comics of All Time. He started doing stand-up at the age of nineteen at open mics in his native Toronto, and spent the next fifteen years honing his craft at clubs across Canada and the UK. In 2004, Peters gained critical and global recognition for his CTV “Comedy Now!” special and soon became the first comedian to sell-out Toronto’s Air Canada Centre in 2007.
He went on to set attendance records at venues from Madison Square Garden to The Sydney Opera House to London’s O2 Arena – where he broke the UK attendance record for highest number of tickets sold for an individual comedy show.
His subsequent tours were captured in his successful specials broadcast on Showtime and Comedy Central: Outsourced in 2006; Red, White and Brown in 2008; and, The Green Card Tour in 2010.
In 2013, Peters became the first comedian to create a Netflix Original Comedy Special.
Peters has been awarded Gemini, Peabody, Emmy and Canadian Screen Awards for his hosting, producing and acting talents. His last TV series, The Indian Detective set a Canadian viewership record for Bell Media /CTV in 2017 and was released globally on Netflix.
He will also be seen later this year in the feature film, Clifford The Big Red Dog for Paramount Pictures.
Peters has a blue belt with three stripes in Jiu Jitsu and is an ardent DJ and hip-hop junkie who tries to get on the turntables for at least a few minutes every day.
