Beverly Hills, CA, 3rd September 2013 Netflix will premiere the Netflix comedy special Notorious and docu-series Russell Peters vs. The World on Monday, 14th October at 12:01 AM PDT. Peters' 70-minute stand-up comedy performance and four part docu-series following Peters on his global Notorious tour will be available to stream in all territories where Netflix is available - the UK, Ireland, the U.S., Canada, Latin America, the Nordics and the Netherlands.
Russell's genius is his uncanny gift to identify the idiosyncratic within all of us, says Lisa Nishimura, VP of Originals, Netflix. He is prolific, fresh and a global force that will resonate with our members around the world.
I've always prided myself on being outside the box and slightly ahead of the curve, which is why Netflix is the perfect fit for me, says Peters. Plus, I was discovered online - we both owe a lot to the internet.
Filmed live at the Allphones Arena in Sydney, Australia on 15th March, 2013, Notorious features global phenomenon Peters as he brings his laugh-out-loud observational comedy to audiences for his world tour of the same name. He uses humour and blends in stories about his Anglo-Indian family to touch on racial, ethnic, class and cultural stereotypes.
Peters has sold out arenas from Madison Square Garden to the Sydney Opera House, and his Notorious World Tour has become the highest attended comedy show in the history of Australia, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Lebanon, South Africa, Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia and his home country of Canada, selling over 300,000 tickets globally. Russell Peters vs. The World will chronicle Peters behind the scenes of that tour.
Previous stand-up performances Russell Peters: Red, White and Brown , Russell Peters: The Green Card Tour , and Russell Peters: Outsourced are currently available on Netflix.
Notorious and Russell Peters vs. the World is executive produced by Russell Peters and Clayton Peters.
On 10th November 2012, Peters became the first comedian to play Brooklyn's new Barclays Center. Over 10,000 fans attended the show, making it the largest comedy show ever in the history of the New York City borough.
Peters' last special, The Green Card Tour LIVE From the O2 Arena, was recorded in London in 2010. The special was broadcast on Showtime, Comedy Central and Netflix USA and Netflix UK.
In 2009, Peters set a UK attendance record for the highest attendance for a one-off comedy show with over 16,000 fans attending his show at the O2 Arena. Peters also went on to have the highest attended comedy shows at Sydney, Australias Acer Arena and Melbournes Rod Laver Arena in 2010.
Starting in 2008, Peters was one of the first stand-up comedians to self-finance, self-produce and distribute his own comedy specials and DVDs, with Red, White and Brown, and 2011's The Green Card Tour LIVE from the O2 Arena. The DVDs went on to sell over 250,000 units across North America.
Listed on this year's Forbes List as one of the top ten Highest Earning Comics in the U.S., Russell Peters has spent the past 23 years building a career to become one of the biggest comics in the world.
