Due To Popular Demand: RUSSELL PETERS DEPORTED WORLD TOUR Adds New Show Time

Emmy- and Peabody Award-winning comedian Russell Peters will leave no cultural stereotype unturned when he brings his brand-new Deported World Tour to NJPAC's Prudential Hall.

Rolling Stone recently designated Peters as one of the "50 Best Comics of All Time" - a list that also included the likes of Richard Pryor, George Carlin and Eddie Murphy. After 15 years of honing his craft on the stand-up circuit, Peters first gained worldwide recognition in 2004 when his CTV Comedy Now! special became a YouTube sensation. Since then, he's packed arenas across the U.S. and around the globe, including sold-out engagements at Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall.
