As the biggest English speaking comedian in India, Vir is taking his authentic point-of-view worldwide and is quickly becoming a global phenomenon with his unique and original perspective.

He climbed the ranks of the Bollywood elite in various films such as BadMaash Company, Delhi Belly, and Revolver Rani.

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 and is winning over comedy fans around the world.
