JFL NorthWest to Welcome Vir Das to the Bell Performing Arts Centre
An actor and stand-up comedian, Vir Das created Weirdass Comedy - India's first and only comedy consultancy. Weirdass Comedy is a one-stop shop for all comedy needs. Das started his film career with Badmash Company (2010) and followed it up with Delhi Belly (2011), which cemented its place as a cult film in India. In 2013, he appeared in the commercially and critically acclaimed Go Goa Gone, which was India's first zombie film. He was last seen in the critically acclaimed Revolver Rani (2014). Vir Das has solidified his place as India's leading man in the comic space with not only casting assignments, but also with content he has developed himself. In April 2015, Das debuted his brand new show, Unbelievablish, which was a roaring success. Covering seventeen cities in India, Dubai and Singapore, and selling over 35,000 tickets, Unbelievablish is the largest domestic comedy tour ever by an Indian comedian.
