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.

From selling out the Sydney Opera House to breaking records in London’s O2 Arena, Russell Peters’ nearly 30-years on stage has made him one of the highest-earning comedians in stand-up. Peters, who is known for his sassy jabs at racial and cultural stereotypes, caught his first big break after his 2004 performance on the Canadian comedy show Comedy Now! went viral. He signed to do a comedy special with Netflix based on his Notorious tour, and a four-part documentary series following him on that tour. Peters is currently starring in the Netflix original series, The Indian Detective.
