Russell Peters: Outsourced

First time I saw a show from Russell Peters was Notorious from 2013, which I liked so I was curious about his early work and oh boy this was a good idea. Outsourced is even funnier, I laughed throughout his whole set. The tone is set after just five seconds, whilst he's introducing himself and looking at the audience, checking what ethnicities are present, his show will stay with the race topic from beginning till the end. Some might find that offending, all those stereotypes, but in all honesty it was just funny how he switched from one race to another, from on accent or dialect to another, he's very talented in that domain. All his jokes are well written, but even his interaction with the audience that will require some improvisation is on top. He just has a very large funny bone. I can't wait to watch another show from him, maybe he won't play the race card in the next one, I don't really know, but it would be interesting to see if he can manage the same level of humor with other topics. That said Outsourced is more then an hour of fun and laughter, certainly worth watching.

This guy is hilarious, he is a rare find, buy this DVD it is really funny, you will pee your pants it is so good. Coming from an Indo-Canadian comedian Russell Peters is the best in the business. He takes shots at all the ethnicities and there are no boundaries he doesn't cross, Whether you are white, black, brown or whatever, you are all going to get it. His comedy is not meant to insult its there to make everyone realize we all have some flaws and he brings out the funny side in it. He can nail down accents on a dime whether its the cheap Asian guy or the abusive Indian father to the big African guy with a click in his name. His show has got it all, go check it out you won't be disappointed with this talented comedian.

Russel Peters is popular, but he gets a lot of criticism for playing the race card too much. I don't know if he's doing it too much, there's a lot of humor to be found in race relations and Peters' comedy isn't as tasteless as it could be, and it's occasionally quite funny. He does good impressions and though his written jokes are funny enough the best parts of the concert are the improvised bits when he interacts with the audience, which he does a lot.

If racial humor just isn't your thing, "Russel Peters: Outsourced" just isn't something you should watch. As someone who thinks it can be funny, if a little irritating at times, I enjoyed this DVD, although his previous concert was far superior.

7/10

Russell Peters is a guy who borrows topics that are largely untouched by the usual media and creates jokes out of it. Although this was my first time watching him, I laughed my stomach off.

Talking heavily about racism, breaking the stereotypes and finally advising the Americans to follow the other world culture when it comes to parenting are the highlights of this 1 hour long, extremely funny TV movie. His timings are great, not to mention how good his memory is.

Observational comedy has been brought up by this guy. He relates all his jokes and that's why they are hilarious. It went slightly boring towards the end, but in shows like this, few downs don't turn you off. Highly Recommended! You'll be amazed with which topics he chooses and uses satire to bring out roars in us.
