I was introduced to Russel Peters one boring morning at work by my Team Leader, Happy. She tried to send one of his offline / downloaded video to me but I need to move to another station and then a few days ago, when I found out that I can access You Tube again on line I decided to check him out so I wont fall asleep at work [yes, sometimes morning works are boring and tend to make me sleepy].
Here is one of his videos and this one made me roll on my belly
Also, here are some info of him from wiki:
Russell Dominic Peters (born September 29, 1970) is an Canadian-Indian comedian, actor and disc jockey.
He's stand-up performances are mostly made up of observational comedy where he uses humor to highlight racial, ethnic, class and cultural stereotypes. He often refers his own life experiences growing up in an Indian family and impersonates various English accents of different groups in his act to poke fun at each group.
As Peters told an audience in San Francisco, "I don't make the stereotypes, I just see them." Russell Peters uses his minority status to allow him to poke fun at different races in his performance.
Peters' is widely known for his comedy punchlines "Somebody gonna get a hurt real bad" in which he tells a joke about his childhood with a traditional Indian father who would use corporal punishment and “Be a man!" while imitating an Asian trying to get him to pay more for an item at a shop which you could actually hear/see in the video above.
