Vir Das: For India

Vir Das talks and laughs about topics which are universal, while adding a unique Indian twist. You don't need to be Indian to understand, relate and laugh when he talks about the human condition, politics, religion, love. Those into standup will recognise his influences, but these are subtle - he doesn't steal jokes, just takes similar approach to easily recognisable western comedians. When it comes to more local jokes it helps if you know a bit about the history and the culture of India, but he also helps out by providing hilarious explanations for non-Indians. Overall a great set, funny and moving. 9/10

As an Indian I found it really interesting how he brought humor in complicated history of ours which is really thing to cherish. More power to you Vir, well done.

Media is playing so dumb that comic appears more enlightened.

Love this piece by Vir Das. He's very good and this one carries a strong message in this political climate. A MUST WATCH.

Fantastic standup set from Vir Das. Some jokes genuinely made me burst out in laughter. But a lot of references and jokes will proably be hard to follow for people who are not from the Indian subcontinent. Would still 100% recommend to anyone who is a fan of good comedy. One of the best standup specials I have seen in recent years.
