The verdict
Born in Toronto to Anglo-Indian parents who immigrated from India, Russell Peters grew up in Brampton — which he will tell you, at volume, at every opportunity — and became one of the most commercially successful stand-up comedians in the world. Still from Brampton. Never lets you forget it. Somebody gonna get hurt, real bad.
