Vir Das: Outside in - The Lockdown Special

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.

I don't know why some people are giving 1 or 2 star's review here, this is not a regular special it's more like improvising comedy or crowd work moment, and tbh Vir Das is brilliant doing this yes it's not that funny because he's not trying to force his comedy nor their cringe moments because of it, I don't think any Indian comic can do that! In this special he didn't had any script any written material! Everything he says, comes from his heart! It's like watching a very cool professor of yours it almost feels like that! Go on, give it a try. Vir Das shot this Netflix special with just one mic and one camera over a period of 8 months, and yet Vir Das has left me speechless!!!

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

And this comes from a huge Vir Das fan. To begin with this really isn't a stand up show as there are absolutely no jokes in it. It's just 50 minutes of boring conversation and Vir being as pretentious as a human being can be. The stupid references in the show where he keep saying stuff like day 7000 of the pandemic etc are nauseating. I literally couldn't finish the entire thing and I recently sat through Student of the year 2.

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.
