Russell Peters in his hayday was magic.! He talks a lot about his dad. A lot of people don't know this, but both his parents although from India are bi-racial. His real name is Russell Peters. Both his parents are Anglo-Indian. Not that any of that matters! He is just very funny and very talented.  |

I did not know his parents are bi-racial, interesting bit of trivia deyana. His Dad's "Sombody gonna get hurt real bad" line always cracks me up. LOL My BFF's daughter tried the "I'm going to call Child Protective Services" line on her when she was a kid. My friend handed her the phone and said go ahead. Just know I'm not the one they'll take away, they'll take you. I get to stay home. Her daughter pondered that and handed her back the phone and apologized for the misdeeds that got her in hot water in the first place. We still laugh about her failed attempt to get the upper hand over an adult. |

That is funny Oh yes, that line!"somebody gonna get hurt real bad" LOL. Always makes me laugh too. He's quite the genius really, in that he insults everyone, but everyone still love him. His audience is always full of all sorts of nationalities. Yes, he is Anglo-Indian from both sides of his family. Back in India there are quite a few British/Indian mix people. Well I guess there are bound to be, since the British were there for around 300 years. link |

^ Good info, thanks deyana. I always enjoyed his comedy routines. I figured his family was from the South, someplace like Kerala because he wears a cross around his neck. Most of my Indian friends and the Reverends I worked for are from Kerala. Their mother tongue is Malayalam. |

Yes, I think Christianity if more prevalent in some areas of India than others.
I was in Kerala some years back, we went that far South during the India trip. I enjoyed the South more than the North. People (women in particular) were more liberated there.

One of his funniest routines, classic RP. Whenever I want to goad my BF into doing something I tell him "Be a man!" LOL |

So funny. He got away with so much, and that I think was because people realized it was not done with any bad intentions. It was just his childish humour.
And there is a lot of truth in his act. As is usually the case with comedians.

foxy, you might find this recent interview with Russell Peters interesting. He talks very honestly about his life and his craft as a comedian.

I didn't know he got married again in 2022. And for once his wife is not a young women. She is just 2 years younger than him. But he says she is his best friend and they seem really happy together.
Looks like he has finally grown up!

deyana, Good stuff, thanks for the additions to this thread. I'm not used to seeing him older. I have heard a lot of comedians say cancel culture was killing comedy and that they won't do shows at colleges.

I know, I can't get used to seeing him as an older man. He is still funny though!
Comedians do have a very dark sense of humour, they make us swirm (if they are good at what they do). I reckon just let them be. Sometimes stuff get so silly that you just have to laugh at it or laugh at life in general, find the humorous side to things.
