Russell Peters rediscovered its “old school Russell” after an unfortunate stage

Russell Peters is back with his audience and a smile.

Peters is one of the greatest comedians of all time. Recognized as the first person to get a Netflix stand-up comedy, a Canadian-born Indian parent comedian has done almost everything in entertainment.

Despite his immense success, Peters has played with underlying misery. Peters reunited with his old self as he was preparing to bring his first home country tour in four years, the Act Your Age Tour, to Canada.

“Going home is always exciting to me, but this time I can go home with something I’m really, really proud of,” Russell told ET Canada. “This is one of my favorites. That is, I’m proud of it. I’m proud of all the actions I wrote, but this is what I write. The difference is that I didn’t have a hard time. I didn’t have a hard time writing it. I didn’t have a hard time finding something interesting in it. It just happened literally.

“And it’s a very organic act, it’s a slight deviation from what I was talking about before. But at the same time, the most common reaction to this act for people is,” He’s back. It’s like old-fashioned Russell. “And I’m like,” Okay, that’s good to know. ” I think I’m happy with that. I think there was a time when I was a little unhappy. When I stand on stage, I find that I had a fundamental misfortune. It’s gone. “

The creative process hasn’t changed, but something has been clicked on for over 30 years of comedy veterans.

“My process is always the same. I’m on stage and talking. I’m just starting to yell at raising older and younger people,” Peters said. “Then I started investigating it on stage,” Well, I say this about young people, but why do I say this about young people? “And” Oh, wait. And that’s what people have said about my generation. ” And, as you know, you will find that all generations are experiencing exactly the same thing.

“All generations think the generations below are a lot of idiots, but no one is responsible for it. And I’m a millennial, Gen Z, we don’t like you It’s my generation that we don’t like you as much as we do. I talk about this in my actions: everything we hate about this generation is because of my generation . Everything.”

Seeing the comedy landscape and the next wave of stand-up comedians, Peters began to step on the gas.

“There are so many comics out there right now. Right now, there are so many people at the top of the game, and so many are coming along well,” Peters said. “There are a lot of young comics that make me go” OK, I got it. A little step into the gas. ”When you were an old manga, I’m an old manga now and I’ve been in the game for 33 years, so yeah, I’m one of the old manga.

“Sometimes you take your foot off the gas and coast, and you notice. I’m going to put my foot back on the gas.” So write really good jokes, think of exciting material, and write well. There are a lot of cats that are slaughtered, well routed and let you go. Let’s get back to focus. “

Comedians have been attacked online on the subject for the past few years. Peters provided this answer when some people were asked to forget about comedy:

“What I always say about comedians is: Comedians are there to tell the truth,” he said. “The truth is like poetry, and no one likes poetry...“

Prior to Asian Heritage Month, Peters looked back on his passion for boxing with his deceased father, Eric Peters.

“The Battle of Castillo-Colares was an incredible battle,” Peters said. “I think it happened a month or two after my dad died in 2004. I remember crying because I saw it and thought,” This would have been my dad’s love. ” .. It was a great fight.

“My dad would have called it the Battle of Dingdong because every time he thought one man was being deceived, another man was ending it. It’s terrible.”

Just as comedy welcomes newcomers to the scene, martial arts are shifting their focus to the Internet sensations Jake Paul and Logan Paul. While many purists blame the Paul brothers, Peters admits that they reveal a serious problem in mixed martial arts.

“I think the advantage the Paul brothers have brought to the martial arts space is that they illuminate what I’ve been saying for years,” Peters said. “People say,’UFC will take over MMA. UFC is taking over boxing. Boxing will collapse.” Boxing will never collapse as fighters make more money. is not.

“UFC, I love it, but it’s not about fighters, it’s about UFC. They don’t advertise fighters. They advertise UFC. How UFC can do UFC. Can You Make As Much Money? It doesn’t hurt other companies, but in the comedy world. Some comedy clubs advertise their name rather than advertise it. . “
