Very funny ..back in the day. I wish him well.

Famous Brampton-raised comedian Russell Peters is officially married, with a star-studded wedding that had multiple big names on the guest list.

Peters married his now wife, Ali Peters, last Sunday (Feb. 20) at the Ritz Carlton in Dana Point, California.



A comedic yet emotional video posted to his Instagram today shows the two of them making their vows and Russell Peters shedding a tear.

“Last Sunday I had the privilege of marrying the most wonderful, beautiful, courageous, independent, smart, funny, caring… (the list goes on) woman I’ve ever met,” the comedian wrote on Instagram.

“This is a place I never ever believed I deserved nor thought would ever happen but as the universe would have it… I’ve been fortunate enough to find my person!”

As expected for a comedian of his status, a number of well-known celebrities were in attendance.

Peters thanked famous actor Cedric The Entertainer for getting licensed online to legally marry him with his wife, and also gave a shoutout to Canadian singer Deborah Cox, guitarist Nile Rodgers, and DJ Scotty Fox for their musical performances during the wedding.

Peters, now 51 years old, was born in Toronto to parents who had immigrated from India. His family moved to Brampton when he was four, where he later attended high school at Chinguacousy Secondary School and North Peel Secondary School (now Judith Nyman).

He started performing stand up comedy in 1989 and found huge success, eventually going on to perform internationally. His most popular comedy routines often played on cultural stereotypes and his own experiences as an Indian man.

Peters has also had roles as an actor and producer, and currently has two children from past relationships.

I turned on the news on CHCH one night and was about 5 min. early . A rerun of Comedy at Club 54 was on .A Comedy show from the 80's,90's. There was a very young Russell Peters doing his ''Somebody gonna get a big hurt'' schtick.

I thought back in those days he was one of the top stand up comedians live or on TV, however, in later years he must have run out of good material and IMO became the foulest filthiest mouth ever.

I'm glad I taped his Christmas special a while back, because I haven't seen it broadcast the past couple of years. Watch it every year and always get a kick out of it.

Yes, I agree, back in the day he was hilarious, but as I said, recently he ran out of good material and most of his jokes were full of obscenities and not funny.

His jokes are tired.
Very true. All based on old stereotypes and pidgeonholing people based on their ethnicity and for some people he picks on they are 2nd or more generation Canadians. He comes across as quite unworldly. (see Jerry Seinfeld). I don't find him funny and like most comedians why say something profound when you can just drop a few f bombs for laughs.
