Hey there, time traveller!

Canadian comedian Russell Peters will be coming to Brandon with his singular comedic standup routine this fall, as part of his Relax world tour.
The comedian will take his tour to New Zealand, Australia, Asia, Europe and the U.K. before returning in September to Canada for new shows in Edmonton, Prince George, Grande Prairie, Medicine Hat, Saskatoon, Brandon and Regina.
For the first time, Peters will be making an appearance at the Keystone Centre’s Westoba Place on Nov. 20, 2025.
Peters was recently named as one of Rolling Stone Magazine’s 50 Best Comics of All Time. He started doing standup at the age of 19 at open mics in his native Toronto and spent the next fifteen years honing his craft at clubs across Canada and the U.K.
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 U.K. 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: “Outsourced” in 2006; “Red, White and Brown” in 2008; and “The Green Card Tour” in 2010. In 2013, Peters became the first comedian to create a Netflix original comedy special.
Peters’ most recent tour, The Deported World Tour, was seen by more than 400,000 fans in 40 cities across 20 countries and culminated in the standup special, “Russell Peters Deported” on Amazon Prime in January 2020.
Tickets will go on sale on Friday at 10 a.m. and available through ticketmaster.ca or russellpeters.com
