Russell Peters comedy show in India

For fans of stand-up comedy across the country, 2026 is already shaping up to be a special year.

Russell Peters is returning to India with his much-loved Relax World Tour, bringing fresh material, spontaneous crowd work and his unmistakable comic energy to seven cities over the course of one month.

The tour will see Russell Peters perform in New Delhi, Pune, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Chennai and Kolkata, making this his biggest and most far-reaching India tour yet.

The announcement comes on the back of a hugely successful global run, with Russell Peters selling out shows in more than 100 cities worldwide, including New York, London, Paris, Sydney, Stockholm, Dubai, Riyadh, Singapore and Toronto.

India has long held a special place in Russell Peters’ touring journey. He first performed in the country in 2007 with the Somebody! Tour and has returned regularly ever since, with the Notorious World Tour, Almost Famous World Tour, Deported World Tour and, most recently, the Act Your Age World Tour in 2024.

The 2026 Relax World Tour builds on that long-standing connection, giving audiences across the country another chance to experience his sharp observational humour up close.

Russell Peters shared his excitement about coming back, saying, “I love coming to India. It’s home. It’s my roots and one of my favourite places to visit. Performing here is always an incredible experience – the energy, the food, hospitality and the audiences, who are smart, lively and have supported me from day one. I can’t wait to come back!”

Presented and promoted by BEW Live in association with EVA Live and powered by Mastercard, the tour is expected to be one of the standout comedy events of the year.

Deepak Choudhary, Founder & Managing Director of EVA Live, said, “As someone who has seen the evolution of live entertainment and comedy in India, it is truly special to present an artist of Russell Peters’ calibre. His comedy cuts across ages, cultures and generations. His ability to innovate while staying true to the humour people admire makes this massive comedy tour a must-attend experience. Only a few iconic comedians of our time have sustained such incredible relevance and popularity over thirty years. Hosting Russell Peters’ Relax World Tour in India reflects EVA Live’s commitment to delivering world-class and multi-genre live entertainment experiences”
