3.0 out of 5 stars Not as good as I expected, February 3, 2007

By	Newton Ooi (Phoenix, Arizona United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Like many other fans of Russell Peters, I got to know his comedy from his 40 minute video download of the Internet. Watching it over and over again, I was amazed by his accents, facial expressions, situational comedy and improvised skits. So I bought this DVD hoping for more. And more you get, as in more of the same. The DVD's main feature is an 1 hour 20 minute video of him onstage somewhere in San Francisco. He is performing to a multi-racial crowd, and as usual, his entire show is devoted to multi-racial comedy. Many of his jokes are of the same nature as his infamous download, and about 20 - 25 minutes of the show is actually him performing the same comedy as that found in his download. Another good 10 - 15 minutes of the show is comprised of him pausing and the audience laughing. So of the 1 hr and 20 minutes, only about half of it is original comedy. And none of it was as good as that found in his download. So for me, it was not that funny. For someone who has never seen his internet download however, this DVD is great. The innovativeness and wit of his comedy is as good as anyone else out there in the US now. And when it comes to racial jokes, his is the best out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Laughed the whole time, September 16, 2006

By	W. Gaultier "willsf" (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My colleagues and I went to see this show live. If you have seen the 45 mins video online that has been circulating for a while, you are going to love this one as well.

This is new material, and very funny. He talks about many ethnic groups, makes fun of them, and knows how to make fun of himself. His accents are impeccable and if you have been exposed to any Asian cultures - you are up for an awesome treat.

I have sent it to already 5 friends (oh yeah, buy the DVD..Support him)

4.0 out of 5 stars Very funny for the most part - some material unsuitable for all audiences, November 10, 2006

By	GMB - See all my reviews

I saw the edited version of this show on Comedy Central and laughed my butt off! So I thought I would get the DVD for my parents. Not a good idea. Parts of it are really raunchy which is a shame because you have to be conscious of who is watching it. Definitely not suitable for someone under 18. When Russell Peters is not being raunchy, he is really really funny.
