Vir Das is returning to Netflix with his new stand-up special. Titled Vir Das: Fool Volume, the Emmy-winning comedian is bringing the show that has been shot in various cities around the world, all with a common theme of kindness.
Das asks whether they should share their joy, keep it safe, or distribute it. The world over, people are pondering this very thing. Filmed in Tokyo, London, Mumbai, and New York, the comedian takes viewers on a hilarious journey across the world in this genuinely international comedy spectacular. After suddenly losing his artistic voice just weeks before his career-defining performance, he wonders where theirs have gone. Noisiness or calmness: which one is a must-have for happiness?
One thing that Das has to say is that comedy can connect people together regardless of their nationality. On this program, they are offering a new, genuine take on humour. It takes place in several nations and takes the viewer on a journey through love, joy, and the modern world's chaos. Das thought to himself as he reintroduced Indian humour to the world through this special Netflix cooperation—sometimes laughter is the loudest answer.
Das has several of his shows being streamed on Netflix, including For India, Vir Das: Inside Out, and Vir Das: Outside In, which streamed in 2020.
Then in 2022, he hosted Vir Das: Landing. At the 51st International Emmy Awards, the special took home the prize for Best Comedy Series. Das won for the first time after receiving his second nomination. He split the award with the British comedy Derry Girls. His New York City stand-up routine delves into his troubled upbringing in India and the events leading up to his immigration to the United States.
Earlier, Das shared the joy of filming in New York City. His anticipation for a spectacular end to 2022 is palpable. Like his last three comedy specials, he hoped that this one received a lot of positive feedback. On Landing, he discusses freedom, stupidity, and citizenship in a global community. At the 2022 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Das was a smash hit. With over 183 performances, he has graced stages in more than 25 countries.
