Comedian Russell Peters brings his ‘Relax World Tour’ to the MACC

Russell Peters was recently named as one of Rolling Stone’s “50 Best Comics of All Time.”

He started doing stand-up at the age of 19, performing open mics in his native Toronto, and spent the next 15 years honing his craft at clubs across Canada and the UK. The rising star came to Maui for the first time in 2012.

Now, Peters has Kahului on the map once again for his “Relax World Tour.” The global sensation returns to the Maui Arts & Cultural Center’s Castle Theater on Thursday, Feb. 27.

In 2004, Peters gained critical and global recognition for his “CTV Comedy Now!” special and soon became the first comedian to sell-out Toronto’s Air Canada Centre in 2007. Peters went on to set attendance records at venues from Madison Square Garden to The Sydney Opera House to London’s O2 Arena – where he broke the UK attendance record for highest number of tickets sold for an individual comedy show.

His subsequent tours were captured in his successful specials broadcast on Showtime and Comedy Central. In 2013, Peters became the first comedian to create a Netflix Original Comedy Special. His “Deported World Tour” was seen by over 400,000 fans in 40 cities across 20 countries.

Peters has been awarded Gemini, Peabody, Emmy and Canadian Screen Awards for his hosting, producing and acting talents. His latest TV series, “The Indian Detective,” set a Canadian viewership record for Bell Media /CTV in 2017 and was released globally on Netflix.
