The Almost Famous World Tour will also feature Russell's Official Tour DJs; Toronto's DJ Starting from Scratch and New York City's DJ Spinbad, as well as video cameras and screens for an up-close and intimate show in an arena setting.
This tour will mark Peters' sixth performance at the Air Canada Centre, a feat no other comedian has achieved. In addition to South Africa, the Almost Famous World Tour will take Peters to New York's Madison Square Garden as well as Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre in November and December. In February and March 2015, Peters will take the tour to Australia and New Zealand, with more international dates to be announced.
Peters can currently be seen as a judge on NBC's Last Comic Standing, alongside Roseanne Barr and Keenen Ivory Wayans. Peters can also be seen in Jon Favreau's critically acclaimed movie Chef.
Listed on the Forbes List as one of the top ten Highest Earning Comics in the U.S. since 2009, Peters has spent the past 25 years building a career to become one of the biggest comics in the world. Peters has also performed for the troops in Afghanistan, Iraq and on the USS Eisenhower and HMCS Winnipeg, and appeared on TheTonight Show with Jay Leno, Lopez Tonight, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson and on HBO, CNN, MTV, BBC and Al Jazeera.
