Vir Das Mind Fool

Vir Das is emerging as one of the most beloved global comedic voices of the 21st century with The New York Times gushing “No artist embodies the globalization of stand-up like Vir Das.” He won the International Emmy Award for his stand-up Netflix special Vir Das: Landing in the best comedy category. The special premiered in December 2022 to universal praise from fans and critics alike. The special, which he also directed, is a story about freedom, foolishness, the west, the east, the notion of home, and what it means to be a citizen of one nation in a global world. The Netflix hour is a capstone to Vir having performed the show more than 180 times in countries across the globe including a wildly successful run at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It’s a show that applies to every citizen in every country in the world with Decider offering that the hour offers “plenty of food for thought…for both current citizens of India, Indian-American children of immigrants, and even those of us with no ties to India.”

Landing, which The Daily Beast called Das’ “strongest hour of stand-up yet ,” is his fourth special with Netflix. His previous one Vir Das: For India received a 2021 International Emmy Nomination for “Best Comedy.” In addition to his global success on the standup comedy stage, Vir has created, produced, and starred in multiple series, including the ABC spy drama-comedy Whiskey Cavalier, the thriller Hasmokh for Netflix, and the travel show Jestination Unknown for Amazon. He is currently developing his own single-camera comedy with Fox, CBS Studios and Andy Samberg’s production company Party Over Here.Vir Das is emerging as one of the most beloved global comedic voices of the 21st century with The New York Times gushing “No artist embodies the globalization of stand-up like Vir Das.” He won the International Emmy Award for his stand-up Netflix special Vir Das: Landing in the best comedy category.
