Russell Peters ble nylig kåret til en av Rolling Stones 50 beste komikere gjennom tidene. Han begynte å gjøre stand-up som 19-åring på open mics i hjembyen Toronto, og brukte de neste femten årene på å finpusse sitt håndverk på klubber over hele Canada og Storbritannia. I 2004 fikk Peters kritikerrost og global anerkjennelse for sitt CTV-show Comedy Now!, og ble den første komikeren til å selge ut Air Canada Centre i Toronto i 2007. Peters fortsatte å sette publikumsrekorder på steder som Madison Square Garden, Sydney Opera House og Londons O2 Arena – hvor han satte den britiske publikumsrekorden for høyeste antall solgte billetter til en individuell stand-up forestilling.
Hans påfølgende turneer ble tatt opp i hans suksessfulle spesialprogrammer sendt på Showtime og Comedy Central: Outsourced i 2006, Red, White and Brown i 2008, og The Green Card Tour i 2010. I 2013 ble Peters den første komikeren til å lage en Netflix Original Comedy Special. Hans Deported World Tour ble sett av over 400 000 fans i 40 byer og 20 land og kulminerte med stand-up spesialen Russell Peters Deported, som ble sendt på Amazon Prime i januar 2020.
Peters har mottatt Gemini-, Peabody-, Emmy- og Canadian Screen Awards for sine ferdigheter som programleder, produsent og skuespiller. Hans siste TV-serie, The Indian Detective, satte en kanadisk seerrekord for Bell Media/CTV i 2017 og ble sluppet globalt på Netflix.
Peters bor i Las Vegas og Los Angeles. Når han ikke er på turné, tilbringer han hver dag med sin datter, Crystianna, og sønn, Russell Santiago. Han har et blått belte med tre striper i Jiu Jitsu, og er en ivrig DJ og hip-hop entusiast som prøver å komme seg bak platespillerne i minst noen minutter hver dag.
