Not many comedians have a joke as memorable as a play on their name—but that’s what makes Russell Peters stand out. The Canadian stand-up began performing back in 1989 and never slowed down. The first comedian ever to get a Netflix stand-up special—2013’s “Notorious”—Peters was also named #3 on Forbes list of the world’s highest paid comedians. Since, he’s released follow-up Netflix special “Almost Famous” and Prime special “Deported,” on top of consistent TV and film work—hell, he’s even in the new “Clifford” movie! See what makes him so special at the Improv this weekend—if you can find tickets.
