a recent tour of Dubai, Peters sold tickets at the rate of one ticket every
two seconds -- crashing all the online sales outlets as soon as the tickets
went on sale. In April 2005, Peters was the first South Asian to headline and
sell out the Apollo Theatre in New York City.
In June 2007, Peters became the first comedian to sell out Toronto's Air
Canada Centre -- performing for over 30,000 fans over two nights. In addition
to this first-time feat, in February 2008, Russell became one of only a
handful of comedians ever to headline and sell out the world famous Madison
