Global comedy superstar Russell Peters is set to return to India with his brand-new, critically acclaimed Relax World Tour, marking his biggest and most expansive India tour to date. The tour will span seven cities—New Delhi, Hyderabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai and Kolkata—bringing Peters’ all-new material and signature razor-sharp crowd work to audiences across the country.
Fresh off sold-out performances in over 100 cities worldwide, including New York, London, Paris, Sydney, Stockholm, Dubai, Riyadh, Singapore and Toronto, Peters continues to reaffirm his position as one of the most influential stand-up comedians of his generation.
The Emmy, Gemini and Peabody Award-winning comedian has toured India five times previously, beginning with the Somebody! Tour in 2007, followed by the Notorious World Tour in 2013, the Almost Famous World Tour in 2015, the Deported World Tour in 2019, and most recently the Act Your Age World Tour in 2024. The 2026 Relax World Tour represents his largest Indian outing yet.
Presented and promoted by BEW Live in association with EVA Live, and powered by Mastercard, the multi-city India leg of the Relax World Tour will kick off in March 2026 and run for a month, positioning itself as one of the biggest comedy events of the year.
Speaking about his return, Russell Peters said, “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!”
Deepak Choudhary, Founder & Managing Director, EVA Live, added, “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.
