Russell Peters – A Comedy style that creates the newest Cultural Laugh-In. Laughter the Best Medicine Especially Laughing at Yourself - Yuk-Yuks

“And what is your background, Pinky?” Russell Peters looked directly at me from the stage at Yuk-Yuks in Ottawa Ontario at the 8 pm Saturday, Sept 9th show.

I was wearing a blue shirt, so I wasn't getting the 'Pinky' comment until my wife, Janet, pointed out that I was all red-in-the face from laughing. Hey, we were seated center stage right in front of the microphone, so we knew we were potential targets for Russell's smooth and engaging wit. I was mentally prepared. Not! I blurted out, “Czech European Cape Bretoner!”

Did I just say that? Not even a sentence! Now it was out there for Russell Peters to mould into an interactive dialogue about “rouge children”, “dirty Czech talk” and “hitting people in the face with a fish if I was an angry Cape Bretoner”. He even got the east coast accent right. I believe I might be the first Cape Bretoner to be exposed 'Russell Peters Style'. This evening with Russell Peters is one that “Pinky” will cherish forever.

Russell Peters is redefining 'Cultural Comedy'. Russell Peters, a comedian from Toronto, Canada, who has South-Asian roots, is touring the world and amazing audiences with his hilarious exploration of various races, including his own East Indian heritage. His brilliant comedy investigates culture clashes, viewed from the perspective of sublimely ridiculous, as he skillfully addresses racism and both cultural acceptance and non-acceptance even as it occurs within the race boundaries.

Laughter of any kind is one of life's most effective medicines for ensuring good health. And being able to laugh at oneself is even healthier. Laughter promotes the emotion of happiness. Happiness, in turn, releases beta-endorphins that science has determined make your body feel good, naturally. Comedy focused on a particular social, ethnic, geography, political or religious matter can be enlightening while producing 'side splitting' endorphin- releasing feel-good-all-over laughter.

Life now determines that who delivers the message in paramount in how effectively it is received by the listening audience. Not surprisingly a Cape Bretoner or Newfoundlander is most effective in delivering joke after joke about their culturally inherent traits or local idiosyncrasies. These two geographic cultures have spawned many comedic successes - Mary Walsh, Rick Mercer, General John Cabot Trail, Hughie and Allen, Cathy Jones, and Bette MacDonald. Overall, both Cape Breton and Newfoundland peoples are fun-loving, good-natured people. Laughing at ourselves comes with the territory.

Like a Cape Breton comic, Russell Peters personifies how laughing at yourself is an excellent venue towards cultural understanding and acceptance. Laughter is the best medicine. And a most effective way to unite all people in the world's global community.
