Other partners for the event include Comedy Central Asia, MTV Asia, Mix FM, Hitz FM, Enrich by Malaysia Airlines and Uber.

The ‘Almost Famous World Tour’ promises ALL NEW MATERIAL featuring observational comedy, highlighting Russell Peter’s opinions on ethnic and cultural stereotypes, jobs, the usage of cell phones and dating. The tour will also see appearances by ‘Fastest hands in New York’ DJ Spinbad as Russell’s Official Tour DJ and an opening act.

True to his form, Russell has clearly gotten to know the Malaysian way as he talks about visiting the country again, “I had a great time in KL in 2012, so I’m pretty pumped about coming back and seeing ‘uolls’ in April lah!”. Yes, this is an actual message directly from Russell Peters.
