Peter Macleod has never been afraid to joke that his right hand is smaller than his left. If he sometimes hides it, it is so as not to distract the public. As a teenager, he refused to have a surgeon operate on him, the best decision of his life. His two hands are a picture of him; one side vulnerable and the other protective.

Since the launch of his first show in 1997, The World According to Macleod, the audience has been in attendance and Peter was immediately awarded a gold ticket for 50,000 tickets sold (photo). Eventually, 200,000 viewers will come to applaud this show. 25 years later he is now on his sixth one-man show and has sold more than 900,000 tickets.

Throughout his career he will return to CKOI or Énergie time and time again, each time rediscovering his passion for live performance.
