Russell Peters

After taking time off to film his hit CTV/Netflix series The Indian Detective, comedian Russell Peters has resumed his Deported World Tour, which kicked off in Australia and New Zealand last year and has already travelled to more than 29 cities in 20 countries. During the course of his career, Peters has played to sold-out crowds at Madison Square Garden and the Sydney Opera House. He's also performed for the troops in Afghanistan, Iraq and on the USS Eisenhower and the HMCS Winnipeg. His 2010 memoir, Call Me Russell, was a bestseller in Canada. A philanthropist, Peters has donated more than a million dollars to charities such as Gilda's Club and the MS Society of Canada. Each year, the Russell Peters North Peel Scholarship sends a deserving student to college. He performs tonight at 8 at MGM Northfield Park Center Stage. Tickets cost $49.50 and $59.50. (Niesel)
