Fresh off his historic win as the first Indian comedian to take home an International Emmy for Comedy in 2023, and with plans to host the prestigious ceremony in 2024, Vir is set to embark on a journey that fuses humour with a message of love and connection.
The untitled special will take viewers on a global adventure, following Vir as he performs across multiple cities, from iconic stages to hidden gems. Along the way, he discovers that kindness is the only true universal language, a message that shines in his storytelling. In a world where sharp roasts often define comedy, Vir’s choice to focus on joy and spreading happiness makes this special stand out.
“Comedy has the power to bring people together, no matter where they’re from,” says Vir. “In this special, we’re doing something fresh by celebrating love and kindness, while showing that laughter is truly universal. It’s an unapologetic shot of happiness straight to the heart. I’m honored to showcase Indian comedy on a global stage in my fifth partnership with Netflix, and I can’t wait for audiences to join me on this journey.”
With this latest special, Vir Das aims to further cement Indian comedy’s global presence, proving that laughter transcends borders and that humour can be a force for good.
