The very funny Russell Peters will be in Manila for his Almost Famous World Tour!

He will be having a show on February 22, 2016 at 8 PM at the Kia Theater (within Araneta Center in Cubao).

He is one of my favorite comedians! I think I have seen almost all of his YouTube videos. He is hilarious without being offensive, even if he pokes fun at racial stereotypes. Check him out on YouTube!

If you have seen the Jake Gyllenhaal movie, Source Code, Russell Peters is the comedian on the train.

Anyway, I am so glad that he is playing here in Manila! If you have never heard of Russell Peters, take some time to watch some of his videos, you’ll be glad you found him!

No idea on the ticket prices yet, but will update as soon as I find out!

PRESS RELEASE

Global comedy rock-star RUSSELL PETERS announces his show in Manila with his ALMOST FAMOUS WORLD TOUR on 22 February 2016 at the Kia Theatre!

The ALMOST FAMOUS WORLD TOUR will feature Russell’s latest take on some of his favorite communities, jobs he can understand, cell phones, dating and his uncle who’s never been punched in the mouth, plus Russell’s signature lightning fast improv with the audience.

“I like to interact with the front rows,” says Peters of his signature back and forth with the audience. “I use the interaction to take me from bit to bit. Some guys go on-stage with a script and don’t deviate from it. That’s not my style. I have my set and know what I want to cover; I just use the audience to move me in certain directions. It’s very collaborative and each show is unique.”

Peters was also the first South Asian to sell-out Harlem’s Apollo Theatre, and was the first comedian to sell-out Brooklyn’s Barclays Arena in 2012 – that show becoming the largest comedy show in Brooklyn history.

The Almost Famous World Tour has already sold over 150,000 tickets in Canada, where Peters will become the first comedian to sell-out Toronto’s Air Canada Centre for a sixth time.

In 2015, Peters took the ALMOST FAMOUS WORLD TOUR to Australia, New Zealand and South Africa, the UK, Europe and Asia, with more international dates to be announced in 2016. His last tour took Peters to 26 countries and over 200 performances, with over than 300,000 fans attending his shows globally.
