Russell Peters

Russell Peters is probably one the most popular comedians of all times. He features in Forbes as the world’s top 10 most highly paid comedians. He’s made it big through videos put over on Youtube by fans. From an average, comedian living next door, Russell Peters has become a worldwide phenomenon.

The small niche that the comic has carved out for himself is mainly due to:

a) Strong observation and understanding of cultures around the world.

b) His ability to mimic all sorts of accents. (The Indian, British and Chinese being the best, well, according to me.)

c) Seamlessly connect random day-to-day activities into worldly truths.

Here’s one of his videos that’s been viewed over 7,400,000 times.

    Nice critical observations Paul. Yes the context of any subject is very important. And in my opinion hitting masses is important and difficult at the same time rather than targeting a niche few. Good Luck!

    @Aarti Badamikar Welcome to the site and thanks for your feedback. You're absolutely right, getting the masses together, under on roof, all from different backgrounds, and making fun of them is not an easy job. One must know the thin line between OK and Not OK. Cheers. Do keep coming back for more.
