Vir Das of Netflix

The Total Tutor Neil Haley will interview Vir Das of Netflix.

His Comedy Special “Abroad Understanding” premiering on Netflix on April 25th

Abroad Understanding was shot in both New Delhi and New York, and will cement Vir Das as the first ever Indian-born stand-up comedian to premiere a special on Netflix.

Born and raised in India and educated in the US, Das transforms the western image of the typical Kwik-E-Mart humor into a show that is raw, edgy, intelligent and relevant. Das’ performance is a marriage between theater and comedy, captivating audiences with his fast-paced high-energy delivery and clever wit. 

Through his various tours, including The History of India and Battle of Das Sexes, he has sold over half a million tickets as a stand up.  While he spent his formative years in India, his comedy perspective is accessible and relatable to a mainstream audience and he is poised to take over the United States with his unique point-of-view.  He recently concluded a two-week run at London’s prestigious Soho Theatre, and this summer, he was featured at the Montreal Just for Laughs comedy festival as well as the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Vir climbed the ranks of the Bollywood elite in various films such as “BadMaash Company,” “Delhi Belly” and “Revolver Rani.” The Hollywood Reporter has said, “Das Exhibits a deft comic timing and a winning vulnerability… A sparkling comic performance.”
