Just For Laughs presents

Russell Peters

How do you close a festival filled with the funniest people in the world? Easy, with one of the world’s most popular comedians! This summer, Russell returns to the JFL stage once again, this time hosting his very own gala with a serious line-up of comedy heavyweights. Your sides will hurt (in a good way) with perfectly timed delivery and wickedly accurate jokes about everyone of every shape, size and colour on the planet.

Featuring: Ruben Paul, Wil Anderson, George Wallace, Robert Kelly and more.

Russell Peters

He’s Canadian (like us)!: born in Toronto, Ontario, Russell has since become an international comedy super star
How it all started: attributes his performance on Comedy Now! in 2004 as the turning point in a career, especially after the video went viral on YouTube.
He could’ve been a salesman: in 2007 he was the first comedian to sell out Toronto’s Air Canada Centre
He’s on TV: he’ll be one of the judges on the newest season of Last Comic Standing premiering this May
