Vir Das: Fool Volume

This standup is hands down the best stand up comedy somebody might have seen till date. It feels personal. At the same time you feel a gush of emotions, you laugh; smile; get emotional and reflect upon yourselves a bit. Amazing work done by Vir Das. 👏🏻 Making the audience shake hands with reality with humour and slapstick.

I have no idea how much he was paid for this special by Netflix, but it was not enough. Piecing together three shows, from three very different places, and it was brilliant. I even got choked up a bit at the end. Anyone can make art, but not everyone can make fine art. This was fine art. This was my first exposure to his work.

I thought it was soooo smart to connect the beginning to the end and to stitch the whole thing together soooo beautifully.

Speaks bluntly about almost every topic that people are sometimes even scared to think about.

Most people will be hesitant to even touch upon some of the topics even though they are relevant and prevalent.

It's refreshing to see/hear him talk without fear about touchy/taboo topics and how he manages to turn them into a really funny joke when you least expect it.

Absolutely loved the seriousness and the funniness...thought it was done beautifully across possibly the three biggest cities in the world.

Definitely one of the best things I've watched in the past few months. You might think he's funny, you might also think that he's not. But this is something that will definitely stay with you for a long time. The nuanced jokes, carefully woven political commentary, and the entire set was just phenomenal. Had been waiting for this to come out for weeks and watched it the moment it came out. One of my favourite things about Vir's comedy has always been how all of the things he says come back at the end of the show and end up becoming a beautiful culmination of little inside jokes between him and the audience. Will forever be a fan of him. Wonderfully executed.

Fool Volume- hadn't heard of it until he promoted it like five days before the release, yet I rushed to see it the day it did. Got exactly what I expected- laughed till my stomach hurt, a few loud gasps (with awe at his boldness), goosebumps with certain monologues and spellbound at the editing, lighting and cinematography of the special. Vir Das is not just a brilliant writer but what I love the most about him is how he curates an entire show. From the opening line, the props around him, the lighting, the venue- everything plays a part, a very important part in delivering what is simple one of the best piece of art I've seen (since that last Vir Das special I've watched)
