Vir Das recently made headlines for his controversial ‘I come from two Indias’ gig that he performed at the John F Kennedy Center in Washington. The actor was also nominated in the comedy category at the International Emmy Awards last year.

Das was also caught in the eye of the storm after he made jokes about the transgender community . He later apologised for his actions, stating, “I did a joke on the new ten on ten episode that my friends in the Trans community felt hurt by. I see why. My intent in the moment, was to say Trans people have courage the Govt never ever could and it was set up wrong and uninformed. I messed up. It had the opposite effect and trivialized your struggle. Articulating my intent effectively is my responsibility, not yours.”

Vir Das announces Mumbai gig after controversial US show, promises it will be ‘distanced, sanitised'

After the much controversial ‘i come from two indias’ monologue, vir das is all set to perform in mumbai at the jamshed bhabha theatre in may..

Comedian-actor Vir Das has announced he will be performing back to back 10 shows in Mumbai at the iconic Jamshed Bhabha Theatre at the NCPA (National Centre for the Performing Arts). Vir has been in news for his controversial monologue 'I Come From Two Indias', performed at the John F Kennedy Center in Washington and for being nominated in the Best Comedy category at the International Emmy Awards last year.

Vir Das will be performing in Mumbai in May.&nbsp;

Vir announced his Mumbai gig, titled Wanted, by sharing a video which has Bitter Sweet Symphony playing in the background as several voices are heard talking about how he featured in headlines for his Washington performance. It ends with a voice saying, “Aaj hum chahte hain ki humara desh Vir Das jaise logo ko pahchane (We want our country to recognise people like Vir Das)." 

Making the announcement, Vir Das wrote, "Mumbai! Tickets are now live! May 4-8, 2022. 10 shows at the iconic Jamshed Bhabha Theatre at NCPA. Tix Link in Bio! It’s been two years, and I’m going to rock your world! #WantedTour #VirDas. Distanced, vaccinated, sanitised, tested. Get your tickets before they are gone! No comedian has done a run at JBT before. Oh…and tell everyone."

A fan reacted, “Wondering how your shows will be taken by the people in India.” Another fan confirmed her attendance and wrote, “Got the back seat, most of these were taken within mins.” Wishing him luck, a fan commented, “JBT was the stage of the Roast too .... all the best @virdas.”

Besides delivering live shows, Vir Das is also developing a country music comedy series titled Country Eastern. The show is about a young wealthy man from India who restarts his life in America with his family.

Mumbai-based and Emmy-nominated comedian Vir Das brings what he hopes is “his funniest material yet” to the Lobero on October 20 — the fifth show on his freshly debuted Wanted world tour.

While this marks Das’s first time performing in Santa Barbara, Wanted will be his fifth Netflix special, set to premiere in December. The show embodies a complex comedic narrative that begins at the end of the controversy sparked by his viral “I Come from Two Indias” video in late 2021, the result of which prompted widespread backlash from the Indian government.

“The show begins at the end of the trouble that that clip caused, and it definitely was a life-changing moment, in that, for the first time, my love for my country had been called into question,” states Das.

Wanted begins during the fated plane ride home to India after his “I Come from Two Indias” video was posted, but it transfuses into what happens, as Das explains, “when somebody who has no idea what he is doing is handed all the privilege in the world — and an unlimited plane ride — and what he learns from it.”

As much as this show picks up in the aftermath of the video, Das notes that the public doesn’t need to watch the “I Come From Two Indias” video beforehand, saying, “You just need to know that a comedian got in trouble and we’ll talk about it enough during the show.”

Das notes, “I’m going to take you home. If you’re an Indian person who lives far away from home, I’ll make you feel like you’re back home for a second. And if you’re not Indian, I am going to put you in a human room with so much love that you will feel like an Indian person, and you’ll go home with us too.”

This is sure to be a night of laughs and introspection, and all will be revealed about how he got out of trouble on his plane ride back to India. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit lobero.org/events/vir-das .
