Exclusive: Emerging producer-distributor Parmar Entertainment has acquired global rights to Russell Peters’ comedy special Act Your Age in what we hear was a seven-figure deal.
The special was taped at Abu Dhabi’s Etihad Arena on November 23 and covers issues such as cancel culture, ageing and the current geopolitical state of the world, and includes Peters’ signature crowd work.
The show was the last stop of the Emmy-winning comic’s world tour which spanned 23 countries and 375 shows.
The deal was negotiated by Parmar Entertainment’s Daljit DJ Parmar and Cpi Pictures’ Clayton Peters. Parmar said the company plans to “make a big splash in the streaming space” with the project.
The special was directed by Peters’ brother and manager Clayton, produced by Cpi Pictures and Parmar Entertainment, and line-produced by Sxg Films. Executive producers include Russell Peters, Clayton Peters, Paul Canterna, David Higby, Keshav Purushot, and Daljit DJ Parmar.
