Russell Peters: Notorious (2013 TV Special) User Reviews

Over The Years, RP's Jokes Lack The Panache...

[nairtejas · 6/10 · 24 March 2014]

It was funny, alright.

But, the one-hour show was more of a lukewarm stand-up compared to his previous stints. He cracked some new jokes, strictly deflecting from his usual style of re-cracking his famous jokes. But, I felt the obscenity level was revved up a notch higher, maybe because his mom was present.

Certain potshots on tattoos, people who get tattoos, massaging, and of course, racism is all it has to entertain. But, RP himself looked tired doing the show, lacking the zeal with which he used to present.

Anyways, this won't stop me from watching more of his future shows, but Notorious doesn't live up to the title. An average show.

Funny Australian impressions.

I've been watching stand-up comedians all week so I'm kind of comparing them in my head, which one I liked the most. Russell Peters it isn't, even though this show has some good funny moments, but there were also a couple moments where I thought it was a bit too long or it was just not that funny. It's my first show from him but I will look out for more as I'm curious about his other shows as he clearly has talent. This show was a just a little bit too long but it's worth watching if you want to have some good laughs.

Russel Peters is being his usual funny self in this stand up. He is very talented and is great at using voices and mimics to make his act even funnier. I don't know maybe his other stand ups were or are better but I loved this one.

He goes through a lot of topics most of which involve different nationalities. I was especially laughing about the Arab guys and escalator in the mall.

I also like his talking to the audience. Many do it but he seems to do it more. Because he is good at improvising jokes that are funny right there instead having to always stick to the script.

Loved it

He is talented, funny and refreshing that he doesn't just rely on sex jokes . It wasn't offensive because he doesn't point out faults in one race but all . If it wasn't for Netflix I wouldn't have stumble upon his work . He must have flown under the radar but I cant wait to see his next show . He needs more publicity in the USA . He doesn't miss a beat on his jokes and they seem to flow freely and smooth . You laugh through the whole show and it doesn't come off as being rehearsed or waiting for the punch line on each joke he tells. No utter silence in his jokes and they are original , they are his style . After seeing this show I looked for his other shows . They are different each time from show to show . Great job !
