Vir Das: Outside in - The Lockdown Special

Silly jokes, no imagination. Seems like a bad assignment fulfilled but still very poor marks.

Vir Das is usually very funny but this time it was very disappointing , the concept was fine but execution was bad , jokes weren't funny, I never laughed once , I would rather suggest people to watch other stand up comedy such as from Kevan Hart , Fluffy etc over this.

This isn't a scripted comedy show, it's a compilation of some funny moments in Vir's improv shows for charity. So obviously, it isn't as funny as a proper set of jokes. But it's also more than a comedy show. It's kind of like a documentary; giving insight into what the people of the world are going through in this pandemic. It's as insightful as it is funny. If you don't wanna use your head and you just wanna just chill and laugh at some jokes (which is fair, everyone has those moods), then this isn't the right special to watch. But if you can spare some time to gain some perspective while having some fun, then this is definitely worth a watch.

(Non spoiler review) The story telling and conclusion.... was quite funny and heart warming, but in some cases....I felt very disengaging, as the content is reptative. On the other hand, love you vir das for your initiative and keeping people happy.

The format is boring. They show you half second cuts of the screen in between and it just doesn't work. Vir Das is witty in spurts. He doesn't have material and banter with audience isn't really great. Hands down one of the worst of Vir Das ever.
