I was disappointed with this one to be honest. Don't get me wrong, this was funny, but with Russell Peters and his past works one has come to expect a whole different level of funny, than this on delivered. This DVD could have come from most comedians today, the jokes are funny and u laugh for a bit, but Russell Peters has a standard much higher than this. There is the usual about race and cultures and Indians and White Guys and so on, the usual Russell Peters stuff, but there were so many jokes that just didn't work, like the one where he tells people about a Nightclub in the middle east and what happens when he went inside. The reason why it didn't work was that the joke felt incomplete, and the same can be said about many of the jokes. They are very funny to the point they abruptly end and leave you with a sense of incompleteness. Its almost as if the jokes were written by Russell and his team in a hurry on the way to the O2 Arena, and they wrote a bit of one joke and quickly moved onto another. Another aspect which took some shine off it for me was that the live audience also didn't seem to be totally into it. All in all as the heading says it was funny, but the kind of show most comedians out there could have delivered, and from Russell Peters one expects a whole different level of funny and sadly this never hits the Russell Peters Funny Height. 7 out of 10 for me.
