How do so many people know RP?

He does it again!

We had been warned….somebody’s going to get hurt and sure he did hurt the insides of our stomach with all the laughing!

Russell Peters was the showman we had expected him to be and better….what more proof did anyone want than that he came to Dubai for ONE SHOW and ended up doing FOUR SHOWS!!?!

The fight was the tix was an emotional rollercoaster. With friends trying the hotline, online tix and I personally lining up at Virgin the hopes were high….

And then….crashed down! We didn’t get tix…we were upset, heartbroken but well we tried…

The comes the news of an additional show…again 12am everyone’s busy clicking in on the Timeout website trying to get tix for the show on Monday, 12th March.

Again the emotional rollercoaster is on….we get the news that a friend has managed to book tix but has not yet received email confirmation for the sale….finger, toes, arms and legs…you name it they are all crossed!

Then comes an update…the amount for the tix has been credited…Yay!! Spirits are high again…

But wait….then comes the steep fall….TIMEOUT apologies due to system error tix have been oversold…refunds will be given.

An outcry from us…why o why?! And then…ting! Good news!! We get tix!! Yay!!

Now for the show…MIND-BLASTING (in Russell’s words). It was the best thing ever to see the guy Live!

People had been warned but I was caught off-guard when I heard him use words like P**** and Blow*** in Dubai. Not to add the visuals accompanied were both unexpected and hilarious.

Loved him picking on EVERYBODY and I mean even the Arabs…oops EMIRATIESS!

I think by far the story of the invention of ‘Zero’ was the best thing I took home

Cheers Russell…Love you even more! Muuuuuaaaaaaaahhh!!

Hope to catch your show on my trip to Toronto….

    Invention of Zero! Yes! That was seriously the best part of his act!
    "But none of this is what I want to pay!"
