![]() One of the best parts about the story of a comedian, is watching it grow from brief performances on stage with a mic in hand, a few dollars compensations, and tiny localized audiences of supporters.and then seeing them explode into multi-millionnaires with international appeal and blockbuster marketability. Then there are the American greats like Katt Williams and Kevin Hart, also kinda making their come-up as stand-up headliners lately. ![]() Of course we have Trixx and Jay Martin, Jean Paul, and a few others in Toronto who are definitely consistently hilarious, and provide comforting familiarity as well. Russell Peters is one of the few comedians who has been able to provide that type of laughter for me over recent years, and I'm proud that he is one of "our own." The type that only a true comedian can give you. ![]() I miss like real hearty, eyes-watering, can't-breathe type of laughter. And not the every day chuckle, giggle with friends, or sitcom humour. ![]() The biography of Canadian comedian Russell Peters, " Call Me Russell" (2010) fulfilled both of these interests, with an easy read and a familiar tale. I love a good Canadian success story.and I love to read inspiring biographies of those who started with a dream, and didn't quit until that dream was fulfilled. ![]()
