Vir Das is an Emmy-winning comedian, actor, and
one of the most global voices in stand-up today. The New York Times
raves, “No artist embodies the globalization of stand-up like Vir Das.” His
recent Netflix comedy special, “Fool Volume,” which he also directed, has
earned praise from Vulture as “a uniquely sumptuous experience.” His previous
special, “Landing,” premiered to universal acclaim and won the 2023
International Emmy Award for Best Comedy, following his first nomination for
“Vir Das: For India” in 2021.
This fall, Vir makes his literary debut with his memoir,
“The Outsider”—A story that follows his journey as a perpetual outsider, using
humor to navigate heartbreak, failure, and the quest for belonging.
As India’s biggest stand-up comedian and a Bollywood star,
Vir continues to break barriers and sell out venues worldwide. He has performed
over 180 shows across the globe, including a celebrated run at the Edinburgh
Fringe Festival, and headlines major stages from Carnegie Hall in New York to
the Eventim Apollo in London.
Beyond stand-up, Vir has created, produced, and starred in
multiple acclaimed projects, including the ABC drama-comedy “Whiskey Cavalier,”
the Netflix thriller “Hasmukh,” and Amazon’s travel series “Jestination
Unknown.” He appeared in Judd Apatow’s Netflix feature “The Bubble” and is
developing several new film and TV projects. When he’s not on screen or stage,
Vir fronts India’s premier comedy-rock band, Alien Chutney.
