1,400 tickets go on sale at five minutes past midnight to catch one of Canada’s most popular comedians make a much awaited appearance in Dubai. Russell Peters will perform his side splittingly funny act on March 11 2007 at the Crowne Plaza Ballroom.
“Tickets are expected to sell like hot cakes for this much anticipated event. Already I have received calls from fans in Bahrain, Qatar and Abu Dhabi demanding to know when tickets go on sale.”
“Midas Promotions is very excited to bring a comedian of this calibre to Dubai. Russell Peters’ edgy type of humour will be a welcome change for comedy fans in Dubai who can expect world class entertainment and an original and hillarious act from the Canadian comic,” said Mel Tyer, Group Operations Director, Midas Promotions.
Russell Peters shot to fame in 2004 when his Canadian TV special started making the rounds on the internet. Since then he has captured a global legion of fans for his hilarious and controversial style of comedy. Peters’ act places a comedic spotlight on cultural idiosyncrasis by playing on various ethnic stereotypes. To his fans Peters is a refreshing and incredibly funny change from the staid world of political correctness.
Having first performed several years ago in Dubai, the Canadian comic genius is looking forward to returning to the Middle East, but has assured fans that his routine will not be toned down for his Dubai gig.
“I don’t take swipes, I talk about my experiences and the things that I see. I can only be full on Russell Peters, anything else isn’t being honest and that’s not fair to the fans who come out to see my show,” said comedian Peters.
The hottest comedy gig in Dubai will also feature Angelo Tsarouchas, known for his comic roles in movies such as Cinderella Man and Harald and Kumar Go To White Castle. The comic, who is also good friends with Peters, will open the Dubai show.
