A Funny-Ass Standup

This stand-up comedy does not compare to epics such as Eddie Murphy's delirious, Robin Williams Live On Broadway or Dave Chapelle's Killing Them Softly, nevertheless Russel Peters proves to be a talented, funny stand-up comedian. This is well paced, with distinct sketches and recurring jokes. It is more on the racial side and issues, but he never crosses to line, going through everyone (even white people!!) and stays original throughout (the priceless Indian accent sketch). I came across this while watching TV, and I sat through laughing my ass off, and urge people to see this!

This stand-up his a must, and if you are a fan of stand-ups, i definitely recommend this one! 8/10
