 “Jody
Peters is an adopted black man raised by white [Mennonite] folks on
a farm in Saskatchewan… Charming, likeable and energetic, his unique
world-view is as endearing as it is funny.” - Just for Laughs
Coined as “one of the rising stars of comedy,” Jody Peters knows he
suffered from low self-esteem as a kid. “I’ve found that’s common
with other professional comedians I’ve met. We take humour from
pain. It’s how we deal with it.”
As raucous as he is thoughtful, Jody Peters gives us a peek into his world
of stand-up comedy, and what it was like to grow up as the only
black person in an all-white, small-town Saskatchewan community. In
the end, Jody’s lesson for his son is that people are people no
matter what their cultural differences. “Being accepted for who you
are is all about accepting yourself.”
Jody has taken his comedy to the people from coast to coast with
appearances at clubs and festivals including the prestigious Just
for Laughs festival in Montreal. Jody has also been in several
television shows and movies. Laughter is found throughout Jody's
comedy show with something fresh at each performance.
An Actor, writer and comedian. He can do it all. His personality
mixed with his acting skills has allowed Jody to develop into one of
the most dynamic Comedians in Canada. His humour covers a wide
spectrum of topics and is a favourite of all ages.
Testimonials
"I was extremely impressed with Jody Peters
performance as was the guests. Jody did not disappoint when it was his
time to shine. I have not laughed that hard in a long time; I had tears running
down my face. Jody was prompt, friendly and even hung around after his
performance to mingle. I highly recommend Jody Peters to others".
