Russell Peters was born to Eric and Maureen Peters, not knowing what talent he had.

Russell Peters in a top-touring Canadian comedian, known world-wide by his millions of fans. Russell grew up with his mother and father, and his brother Clayton Peters. As a child growing up in Toronto, Russell grew up with many different cultures and religions around him, which led to his brilliant racial humor.

Russell keeps a keen eye on the popular myths of stereotyping, racial slurs, and accents of different races. As Russell stated: "In my act, as much as I try to make it look like we all think and talk and behave so differently, the point is, we all do the same thing. We all have the same problems. We may have a different skin color or a different accent or language, but we all have exactly the same stuff goin' on." Nominated for four Gemini Awards since 1996 (winning one in 2008 for hosting the Juno Awards) and having his shows re-aired because of public demand makes Russell an up and coming talent that will not be stopped anytime soon!
