Mumbai: DOME, NSCI, India’s premier entertainment and leisure destination, hosted a 2-night laughing riot with the hilarious Russell Peters on 2nd & 3rd June, 2019. The Indo-Canadian comedian returned to his roots in India for his Deported World Tour brought by Zee Live’s Supermoon. The night was filled with the perfect amount of rib-tickling jokes and the Russell-special sarcasm.
An initiative by Zee Live, seats at Dome, NSCI were houseful both nights with a footfall of 8500+ waiting to have a laughter-filled weekend. The night of glee was opened by Jason Collings followed by the long-awaited Emmy, Gemini and Peabody award winning Russell, who brought his unique spin on humour to eager Mumbaikars as he left the audience in splits. His refreshing sense of humour with unexpected ethnic prompts and improv had the audience rolling on the floor hoping for a never ending night. The event was also attended by prominent celebrities like Vicky Kaushal, Taapsee Pannu, Jahnvi Kapoor, Ishan Khattar, Jim Sarbh and Tara Sutaria, to name a few.
Speaking on the success of the event, Mazhar Nadiadwala, MD, Dome Entertainment Pvt Ltd said, “Dome, NSCI is one of the most legendary venues for the most remarkable entertainment shows. In India, Russell Peters is an extremely loved figure whose shows are always houseful. To have a successful event, he required a versatile space like Dome that can undertake the task of handling a large audience while maintaining the quality of the event. It was amazing to see him in his element on stage as he charmed the audiences with his unique sense of humour.”
“Our adept team spent weeks prepping the stage to create this buzz-worthy comic fest. The challenge of transforming our landscape to meet the international standards of Russell’s World Tour was a welcome one. We hope to strengthen our association with him and his team to provide the Indian audiences the best from the entertainment world,” he added.
Russell Peters said, “India has always been an integral part of all my comic sets because I feel that’s my identity. It is something that’s constant in my life. I have many memories of this place, as both my parents were from here. I’ve been doing stand-up for 30 years and I figured that this would be the best way to show the people of India that I love and respect the country. I thank my audience and Dome, NSCI for putting up the amazing show with me.”
