Russell Peters Returns to Etihad Arena for One Night in Abu Dhabi

Russell Peters is back in Abu Dhabi for one night only, taking the stage at Etihad Arena on Yas Island on Sunday, 25 October. The show starts at 20:00, with doors opening at 18:30. The show is part of the Abu Dhabi Comedy Season, now in its third edition, and it's a phone-free night: phones and smartwatches are sealed in pouches at security, so whatever happens on stage stays in the room.

Born in Toronto, Peters has been doing stand-up since 1989 and was the first comedian to get a stand-up special on Netflix. He was also the first to sell out Toronto's Air Canada Centre, set a UK comedy sales record at London's O2 Arena in 2009, and made Rolling Stone's list of the 50 best comics of all time. Specials such as Outsourced, Red, White and Brown and Deported built his name on quick-fire jokes about culture and family, plus plenty of back-and-forth with the crowd. He already has an Abu Dhabi chapter, too: his special Act Your Age Live in Abu Dhabi came out in December 2024.

The show is only days away, and there is no second Abu Dhabi date. It's a 16+ show. Don't leave it to the last minute: Russell Peters tickets at Etihad Arena.
