Peters has his own unique comedy style. His comedy focuses largely around his Indian upbringing and racial stereotypes. He often parodies his parents and South Asian culture. The theme of his comedy is the cultural divides between many different ethnicities. Much of his comedy speaks to immigrant communities around the world - Indian, Arab, Caribbean, Chinese, Filipino, Korean, Vietnamese, and other South and Southeast Asian communities that remain invisible to the mainstream media and sometimes to the broader white population.

He is very much popular among the audience for his comedy style. Peter engages the audience at his shows, by talking to individuals and making some sort of remark at them, or about them and this style is indeed one of the major reason for his popularity among the audience.

He successfully hosted his own BBC chat show Network East Late, where he got opportunities of interviewing Ismail Merchant, of Merchant Ivory productions, UK hit makers Faithless, Gurinder Chadha, director of Bend It Like Beckham and many other South Asian and mainstream artists and personalities.
