Comedy Central and Real Concerts are thrilled to announce that global comedy superstar, Russell Peters, is returning to South Africa as part of his brand new Deported World Tour. The award winning comic will perform in Cape Town on May 17 at the Grand Arena, bringing his unique and sometimes controversial brand of humor to South Africa once again.

Peters’ new show features all new material including plenty of Russell’s signature audience interactions. The comic has returned to live touring after taking time off to film his smash hit CTV/Netflix series, The Indian Detective.

The Deported World Tour kicked off in Australia and New Zealand in February 2018 and has already travelled to over 29 cities in 20 countries and been seen by over 100,00 fans worldwide. The tour will continue well into 2019, following which, Peters will take an extended break.

Listed on the Forbes List as one of the top ten Highest Earning Comics in the U.S. since 2009, the comedian has spent the last 29 years building a career to become one of the biggest comics in the world.

Thanks to YouTube and his global following, Peters has sold-out arenas from Madison Square Garden to the Sydney Opera House.
