Russell Peters: Show Me the Funny (1997)

Synopsis: Show Me The Funny, the first Russell Peters show on this stand-up comedy DVD, dates back to 1997 and is, comparatively speaking only, a little weaker (to be fair, seven more years on stage should and does show). Taken on its own, Show Me The Funny is a good stand-up comedy show. What you will notice if you watch the later show first is that Peter’s does not segue his material much in this first show and has a much more hodge-podge approach. The cool thing about this particular show is Peters is not a topical comic so his observational and slightly autobiographical comedy has not aged at all: the jokes still work. Russell Peters fan will also notice that his material, usually aimed at breaking stereotypes and so on, is not as subtle and his punch is more telegraphed. The last track on Show Me The Funny is the longest and contains a variety of short bits on different topics; a versatile demonstration but a bit messy.
