Pune, 3rd October 2019: Raking in the LOLs and winning hearts of over 5000+ Punekars at Zee LIVE’s Supermoon last evening was our dear ol’ boy Russell Peters. Peters’ performance in Pune was filled with his unique brand of humour and featured all-new material including plenty of his signature audience interactions which left Punekars all smiles.
The occasion was unprecedented in so many ways as the Emmy®, Gemini® and Peabody® award-winning Indo-Canadian superstar is on the last leg of his 'Deported World Tour' in India. Peters’ tour will culminate with a performance in Ahmedabad on October 4 and Hyderabad on October 6. 
Speaking on the success of the show, Swaroop Banerjee, COO, Zee LIVE, said: “The Supermoon flagship IP by Zee Live has taken incredible wings. Punekars were magic, a full house arena and 4 of the largest Marathi Cinema stars coming to watch Russell just reinforces our belief of bringing home world-class talent under this Supermoon brand. Ahmedabad and Hyderabad are next, and we intend to create some truly disruptive moments.”
VG Jairam, Co-founder, Fountainhead Marketing and Oranjuice Entertainment, which produced the show, said: “Oranjuice Entertainment is proud to partner with Zee LIVE. We are overwhelmed with the success of Peters’ ‘Deported World Tour’, which was organised under the Supermoon flagship. We congratulate Swaroop and the entire team at Zee LIVE for putting up an amazing show.”
Peters’ Pune event was also attended by several celebrities from the Marathi cinema-like Amey Wagh, Sachin Pilgaonkar Shilpa Tulaskar and Sumeet Raghavan.
Sharing his excitement about Peters’ performance in Pune, Amey Wagh said, “My first introduction to comedy was Russell Peters’ video. I've recently tried my hand at stand-up comedy and Peters has been the inspiration behind it. It was a dream come true to watch him live today.”
Sachin Pilgaonkar said, “I've been an admirer of Russell Peters for a very long time and today I was finally able to watch him perform live. It was indeed a pleasure to watch his performance. I would like to thank Zee LIVE for organizing such an amazing event and giving us the opportunity to watch him live.”
“It was my first ever stand-up comedy show and it was totally worth it. It was an amazing experience to watch Peters live”, said Shilpa Tulaskar.
