Russell uses his wry observations on the subjects of race, class and culture to illuminate our human shortcomings with the sizzling accuracy of a well-aimed laser. His quick wit and ability to mimic language and accents allows Russell to create characters of all races and cultures and forge an immediate bond with his audiences, regardless of their racial and cultural background. "Outsourced" has gone eleven times Platinum in his home country of Canada.
Russell has been nominated for four Gemini Awards [the Canadian equivalent of the Emmys]. He's performed sold-out tours of China, South Africa, Australia, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Jamaica, St. Marten, Trinidad, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates and in 2007, was the first North American comic to tour India.
