Pulling off comedy and satire within a history or cultural lesson can be a stretch. Especially when you remember that some countries define "freedom of speech" a little less freely than ours. But Das pulls it off with aplomb.

Why see Netflix Is A Joke Fest - Vir Das?
Don't Miss Top Indian Comic Vir Das
With an increasing number of stand-up specials made especially for its roster (over 200 can be found on-site already), it makes sense that streaming heavyweight Netflix is taking its golden comedy formula to the stage. Finally taking place from April 28 to May 8, the first-ever Netflix Is A Joke Fest will leave LA in stitches at over 100 venues citywide, featuring the biggest and brightest established comics, as well as up and coming performers that are just itching to be discovered by new fans. Don't miss Vir Das at The Theatre at Ace on April 29.
Both a celebrated stand-up comedian and a Bollywood stage and screen star, Vir Das broke through to international acclaim in 2017, when his Netflix special Abroad Understanding was released to much critical acclaim. Riffing on everything from travel to religion, his childhood, and his desi heritage, his distinctive brand of comedy gives audiences a uniquely Indian perspective.
