Not quite PC, but i was introduced to the comedy of Russel Peters by my smog mechanic who hailed from Pakistan. The impressions and comedic prowess of Peters is a treasure.

Not as good as I expected

"Like many other fans of Russell Peters, I got to know his comedy from his 40 minute video download of the Internet. Watching it over and over again, I was amazed by his accents, facial expressions, situational comedy and improvised skits. So I bought this DVD hoping for more. And more you get, as in more of the same. The DVD's main feature is an 1 hour 20 minute video of him onstage somewhere in San Francisco. He is performing to a multi-racial crowd, and as usual, his entire show is devoted to multi-racial comedy. Many of his jokes are of the same nature as his infamous download, and about 20 - 25 minutes of the show is actually him performing the same comedy as that found in his download. Another good 10 - 15 minutes of the show is comprised of him pausing and the audience laughing. So of the 1 hr and 20 minutes, only about half of it is original comedy. And none of it was as good as that found in his download. So for me, it was not that funny. For someone who has never seen his internet download however, this DVD is great. The innovativeness and wit of his comedy is as good as anyone else out there in the US now. And when it comes to racial jokes, his is the best out there."

Laughed the whole time

"My colleagues and I went to see this show live. If you have seen the 45 mins video online that has been circulating for a while, you are going to love this one as well.

This is new material, and very funny. He talks about many ethnic groups, makes fun of them, and knows how to make fun of himself. His accents are impeccable and if you have been exposed to any Asian cultures - you are up for an awesome treat.

I have sent it to already 5 friends (oh yeah, buy the DVD..Support him)"

Get this now!

"Guys just like the rest of u i was first exposed to Russell (Indian tone!) over the internet. This guy will tear up the every type of racial slur, comment, notes, social observations...u name it! this guy is just purely nuts. If can so relate to this guys since my own little ethnic background has become a composite (Indian, PanArab, American, Egyptian!) It doesn't matter...i just laugh so hard the neighbor's knock! if i was anywhere else and had the talent to pick on these various cultural elements with a fine colm like RP, i would quit my day job and work as a Global comedian! Get this u will laugh it up! If u don't get this disc then "SOMEBODY GOING TO GET THE HURT REAL BAD!" GO RP!"
