The sold out crowd really wanted to see was world-renowned comedian and special guest-DJ for the night Russell Peters and disappoint he did not. As Montell Jordan would say, Russell Peter showed- ‘This Is How We Do It’. When Russell ‘dropped the needle’ the crowd started dancing and didn’t stop until his set was over.
