On the night his new Netflix special Full Volume hits screens, global comedy icon Vir Das sits down with South Asian Trailblazers Host Simi Shah for an unforgettable podcast live-recorded at the Asia Society of New York. WATCH IT ON YOUTUBE.
🎧 This is Vir Das off-script — raw, real, and as per always, hilarious.
Born in Dehradun, raised in Lagos, and educated everywhere from Delhi to Knox College in Illinois, Vir Das is definitionally global.
He has traversed Hindi cinema and inspired India’s comedy scene – from crowd favorites like Delhi Belly to performing stand-up at Carnegie Hall. In his career, he has worn the hats of actor, director, writer, comic, and soon-to-be author.
To date, he’s released five global specials – winning an Emmy for his special: Landing in 2023. In 2024, he hosted the International Emmy’s. Vir was the first Indian comedian from India to launch a special on Netflix. The night of this conversation, he launched his 5th special – VIR DAS: FOOL VOLUME with the streamer.
This year, he’s back with his boldest work yet — not just this special – but a memoir entitled The Outsider: A Memoir for Misfits and a host of other inspired projects.
Hosted in partnership with Neerja PR and Asia Society.
