I think Russell Peters is one of the best comedians we have out there . He doesn't hold back on anything and says what is taboo . It was refreshing to see a comedian not just relying on just sex jokes . He isn't offensive because there is not just one race that he points out faults with . I laughed through the whole set and he didn't miss a beat . I stumble upon his show by accident on Netflix because he must have flown under the radar . He is funny and just plain talented . I cant understand why they didn't give him more publicity in the USA prior to this . Watch and that is all I can say because you wont be disappointed in his shows . Not just this one but the newer ones too .
... View MoreNot even Mediocre stuff. Its almost as if he had no material and he just came on stage and tried to spend some time. Which is probably what he did. Nothing prepared and its sad to see that hes just not that funny to be impromptu and do a show based on no ready material. So I guess its just material and delivery. He doesn't have real comedy talent? I would not have believed that but after watching this show I'm having my doubts. I'm surprised nobody heckled him and nobody walked out. Very low quality......I've seen better comics in comedy festivals. I was really looking forward to watching this show but very very disappointed. Thats all I have to say about it. He's a has been now i guess.
... View MoreI was eagerly waiting for Russell's next show DVD after Red, White and Brown which was really good. But this one was not up-to the mark. The jokes look really incomplete and unprepared. He is just making fun of the audience and basically moves from one guy to another without actually completing the jokes. Too much interaction with the crowd and same racial jokes are kind of annoying. It's like speed breakers in your one and half hour joyride. For at least half of the show I didn't laugh at all. I know its hard to imagine but it's true. I am not sure if the live audience enjoyed it but its for sure not worth launching a DVD. He looks like normal stand up in this.Russell you have set high standards, please live up-to that. 6 out 10 for me.
... View MoreI was disappointed with this one to be honest. Don't get me wrong, this was funny, but with Russell Peters and his past works one has come to expect a whole different level of funny, than this on delivered. This DVD could have come from most comedians today, the jokes are funny and u laugh for a bit, but Russell Peters has a standard much higher than this. There is the usual about race and cultures and Indians and White Guys and so on, the usual Russell Peters stuff, but there were so many jokes that just didn't work, like the one where he tells people about a Nightclub in the middle east and what happens when he went inside. The reason why it didn't work was that the joke felt incomplete, and the same can be said about many of the jokes. They are very funny to the point they abruptly end and leave you with a sense of incompleteness. Its almost as if the jokes were written by Russell and his team in a hurry on the way to the O2 Arena, and they wrote a bit of one joke and quickly moved onto another. Another aspect which took some shine off it for me was that the live audience also didn't seem to be totally into it. All in all as the heading says it was funny, but the kind of show most comedians out there could have delivered, and from Russell Peters one expects a whole different level of funny and sadly this never hits the Russell Peters Funny Height. 7 out of 10 for me.
