so hard it hurts

there are only a handful of comedians that can make me laugh so hard it hurts. among this motley crew (dave chapelle, chris rock, will ferrell, and my brother) is russell peters. known for his amazing ability to perfectly mimic any accent and ethnic jokes, i feel that his humor has broad appeal while not resorting to excessive use of profanity or crudeness.

indian-canadian, he has made a name of himself via youtube and his jokes about stereotypes.

needless to say, when theng, q2, and i went to see him perform live friday night, there was a hugely diverse (i don't recall seeing a single caucasian) audience. haven't been around so many asians since 2005 halloween party!

the show was worth every pennny and i was relieved that much of the material was new. i completely lost myself in laughter for two hours, forgetting all my day to day stresses and troubles. . .
