Hailing from Toronto, Peters has established himself as one of comedy’s elite. Named one of Rolling Stone’s 50 Best Comics of All Time, his career began in open mic nights across Canada and the UK. In 2004, his Comedy Now! special catapulted him to international fame, making him the first comedian to sell out Toronto’s Air Canada Centre in 2007.
His groundbreaking achievements include attendance records at Madison Square Garden, Sydney Opera House, and London’s O2 Arena, where he broke the UK’s comedy attendance record. He was also the first comedian to create a Netflix Original Comedy Special, with Notorious in 2013.
Peters’ accolades include Gemini, Peabody, Emmy, and Canadian Screen Awards for his work in comedy, hosting, and acting. His TV series The Indian Detective set viewership records in Canada in 2017 and gained global acclaim on Netflix.
Currently on his Relax it’s not that serious World Tour, Peters continues to dazzle audiences worldwide. Between shows, he enjoys life in Las Vegas and Malibu with his two children, Crystianna and Russell Santiago.
This collaboration with Patreon underscores Peters’ innovative approach to reaching his audience, making Act Your Age a must-watch event this holiday season.
