Thanks for uploading this. Never seen his stuff from the 90s. I can tell his accents were not yet refined yet. Not as good in this bit as his later stuff. Must've taken years of practice to make them all so good. I've heard his Indian, Cantonese, New York Italian, British, Arab, Australian, Filipino accents in other performances and they were all so spot-on and hilarious.
Bro! He was born in Canada with complete set of English accent! Plus he can switch from Canadian, Indian, Jamican, American, British and more as he wish so! He’s purely the kind of stand up comedy in real life! Same level as Gabriel
sideshop. not half as good as he will become later on. his timing is off, he talks too fast, and the jokes are not that great, they sound prepared. but he sure learned his craft later on.
It is definitely the mid 90’ cause remembering saw some of his performances on TV. One other obvious tip is that most of Indians drive cabs during this time not like now they are all in IT.
it's also Canada. So depending on where u are from,,,, yeah some of these people look 80's 70's lol. But definitely some 90s big hair, red lipstick , black outfit going on.
@@HomeMoviesdotCa I understand. This popularity by RP fan, like me, is due to the sporadic amount of his early material. Most comedians have, maybe, up to 3 - 4 hours of material that outline their start and subsequent rise to fame. Because Russell was part of the group of celebrities that became successful through You Tube, the amount of his early material that is publicly available is scarce. So stuff like this is really valuable; it shows where his comedy was at, in the late 1990s. Just a question: would you have the CBC show that he did, which included him doing some skits? I think the show was called "Comics," and was released in 1995.
@@thedarkness5032 Sorry to say don't have "Comics" RP. 1st time we saw RP he did a bit about Indian retailers bartering, "Take It - n - Go" omg we laughed our socks off, would love to have that one to put up. And, I enjoyed that tv show he did about a Indian-Canadian in India too.
I'm a big Russell Peters fan and really miss his old shows-they were so good! I feel like his newer material doesn't have the same spark, but I hope he gets back to what made him great.
Okay so I was born in this year and let me just say - What a legend. Paved the way for brown guys in comedy and becoming a global megastar. What a man. Somebody gonna get a standing ovation.
Man, this was only, 95 and yet, how things have changed so much. I actually, miss some of this. The look and feel of the time. Russell has changed so much, since these days but his comedy always, has been genius, it seems. My Best. Be Well and Safe. Out. 🙂🖐🏼
I didn’t realize there was so many white people back then. I mean I’m sure he still is but I grew up in Southern California so there was never that many white people in my place even in the early 90s. Unless you were in the Midwest for South
Loved the era.....the entire audience dressed so modestly...no unnecessary body flashing, piercings, blue-green hair etc.....the era is gone now...gone never to return again
When I lived in San Francisco 50 years ago there was a Chinese Restaurant called Wang Cum, many cigarettes in the city got their photos taken under their sign
I remember back in the late 90s when I was talking a walk in a park in England....bunch of 10 years old boys were asking for a " fag"...coming from Asia, that was a bit of a surprise...
I’m actually here looking for footage of him from 1996, he performed in the middle of a dance floor at a small club in Toronto & made fun of someone’s pager
@@KrakenUmbra Are you sure? I remember in 1996-1997 in my school there were several Indian and Persian kids with this hairstyle, maybe it depended on the specific communities?

What bout payment
@@soulshock210 payment ? please explain. I'm thinking short stand-ups, I wouldn't charge to digitize them, and I don't monetize this channel.
@@soulshock210 his channel ain't monetized. For starters, you need 1k subs and over 4k watch hours. It's not always bout the dolla dolla bills haha.
You da man!
Hopefully it won't be censored like this one
You could tell the guy was way ahead of his time. Society wasn't ready for his jokes yet.
Everything was about White, Black, and Hispanic people and he brought in a fresh demographic
The fully White audience here was quite receptive.

Absolutely agree with you
When was this originally recorded.... Year .... Month???? Anything..
Ladies in the audience are absolutely drop dead gorgeous with 90s fashion. So simple and elegant!
yah, eh.
Totally agreed. They are so pretty.

This is the confidence he
had 28 years ago ?!! wow ... what a legend !
👍👍
Just to let you know 25! Lol
confidence wasn't invented recently
I grew up in Burlington, Ontario where Club 54 is located. Seeing these people in the audience is like staring into a 90s Time Machine.
Wow that great..Yeah like those future movies..
He's been doing the sukdeep joke since 95 lol
Singers sing same song
now we know.
The joke sucks deep..what can you do
If I have to, I guess. I don't like it though.
as long as people keep naming their kids suckdeep, russel will have to keep warning us
I didn't know he's had a long career in stand-up comedy. He's a legend, laugh after laugh.
Russell's career is longer than my whole life. I was born in 1995.
why ? Just why ?
@@stra998if his jokes made fun of your sensitivities, relax, it is just comedy.

Never knew he's a stand-up comedian since then.. freaking crazy
Comedians do their trade for 10-20 years before they make it big, if ever
He looked older than his age.
@@razadaza9651 Absolutely correct bro..
In a recent interview he said he started in 1989 and didn't really make it big until 2003-2004.
Such badass confidence at that age, looks effortless
First time seeing Russell with a fade 😎
He still was still yet to refine his Indian accent. It’s gotten so much better. Crazy to see him so young.
Wow even back then, he was damn good 😂😂😂
He was actually very good back then
You mean "too good"? "Mind blastingly good"?
@@abhijiththampi7960 fantastic

I love this guy. I can't get enough of him
Lol that entrance was brilliant 👏 🤣
Nobody in the audience was ready for his jokes. It hits them like a bomb. Some were even acting cool while tickled to their souls.
This video is a gem! Thanks for uploading man.
Thanks for thanking me, very glad you liked it.
Yes Sir, Thanks from me too..
Why does it look much older than the mid 90's? 😂 Amazing set by Russel. Always a legend.
it looks exactly like the mid ninetees.
I was thinking he didnt actually age much since then .. unlike me :( help me lol
Cz you're old enough

Of course with the Punjabi family and Russell peters too lol
Which song was that?
He was so handsome!!
Look how young he is and yes he does still have the same voice
Hell yes...thanks for video...best 12 minutes ever...laughed at every joke my sides hurt...great stuff
Great to have an Indian origin who is an internationally acclaimed comedian.
Unlike 2023 it seems he was the only Indian guy in the club

Oh that sukhdeep joke is so old . He is still using it !
This guy was in his 20s here. Such confidence and articulation. He was destined for greatness 😅
Very structured comedy, that is Comedic, very good.
I can't believe that Russell started when he was young so talented I love you dude❤
Wow Russell really wore lots of bling back then, he was peak 'Indian-obsessed-with-gold' 😂
I have never seen this, thank you!
it's funny cuz if he asked the tattoo question today about 80% of the crowd wouldve raised their hand
imho some changes have not been for the better 😞
@@HomeMoviesdotCa why do people care if someone else gets tattoos?

@@halfcentaur9836 40% of the world has tattoos now and it will only grow

just got deeper over the years

his jokes too
He was 25 and killin it...
Back then no one had their phones out texting or whatever.. a proper atmosphere

Loved the era.....the entire audience dressed so modestly...no unnecessary body flashing, piercings, blue-green hair etc.....the era is gone now...gone never to return again
He doesn’t make fun of and embarrass his audience yet. Those moments are the best.
Thank you for the best laugh in months!
I watched this show all the time
Flashin back
Classic. Thanks for uploading.
What’s a cigarette called in England?

Russel Peters in 1990s is absolutely Chandler 2.0
The women sitting there reminded me of Monica
I used to watch Comedy At Club 54 but somehow I missed seeing this episode
Damn Russel had fade cut in the 90s
Lovely 90's ❤️🤗✨️
His accent was more Canadian back then
true, eh. :-) he's not canadian anymore, not for long time.
I’m from Toronto, grew up in the same neighbourhood as Rustle at the same time. as I did standup on Club 54 Amateur night
Cool, thanks for the story, hope your standup nite was fun :-)
Sukhdeep and hardik are some Indian names you can make dark jokes on 🤣

Oh man.
I didn’t realize how much I missed that cuckoo clock noise
I laughed at how they censored the word "fag." Even though it's an actual word in the UK for a cigarette. Back in the 1990s "fag" was not censored.

Not gonna lie but Russel looks really good here ..i mean good looking ❤ lol but I can't believe how the fashion was in the 90s ...loved it
0:55 That's a perfectly timed entrance 😄
Look at the audience then and now. Things have changed like crazy😊
6:04 Funny that they actually ended up making a hockey movie with canadian punjabis. And Russell was in it.
He also played a Canadian police detective in India for 1 season.
legend.....man got 51 this year ....
The thing I like about Bollywood is that even if someone is getting killed by someone they are going to dance 🕺
LOL
It’s not that the audience wasn’t enjoying Russel, it’s that they were ashamed to be caught on camera laughing.
love the old vibe
can't believe he told that joke for 20 years
Like most comedians
That’s normal. The trick is to get the delivery right and at the right time each time it is told
you have not change well done sir!!
I’m actually here looking for footage of him from 1996, he performed in the middle of a dance floor at a small club in Toronto & made fun of someone’s pager
To be honest what a performance
Wish you were young brother
I missed your old jokes
OMG, Russell was hilarious even back then! 🤣🤣
I think Russell was talking about this with Kevin Hart on his Comedy Gold Minds podcast about how it was his first popular recorded hit
damn russell was a stud when he was younger
saw him at Yuk yuks in Mississauga , wish i had taken a photo with him
Look at the ladies of that era! OMG they looked way better then 😌.
Great show
He still sounds the same :D
Nice to see REAL Feminine WOMEN. God I miss Feminine women🥺
It's hard to believe this was almost 30 years ago. I bet most watching this video aren't even born yet at the time.
