Thank you, wonderful soul, I've been looking for this for years.

[@HomeMoviesdotCa]

I'm boggled how popular the upload has turned out to be 🙂

[@thedarkness5032]

@@HomeMoviesdotCa I understand. This popularity by RP fan, like me, is due to the sporadic amount of his early material. Most comedians have, maybe, up to 3 - 4 hours of material that outline their start and subsequent rise to fame. Because Russell was part of the group of celebrities that became successful through You Tube, the amount of his early material that is publicly available is scarce. So stuff like this is really valuable; it shows where his comedy was at, in the late 1990s. Just a question: would you have the CBC show that he did, which included him doing some skits? I think the show was called "Comics," and was released in 1995.

[@HomeMoviesdotCa]

@@thedarkness5032 Sorry to say don't have "Comics" RP. 1st time we saw RP he did a bit about Indian retailers bartering, "Take It - n - Go" omg we laughed our socks off, would love to have that one to put up. And, I enjoyed that tv show he did about a Indian-Canadian in India too.
