Vir Das on his new show ‘Inside Out’

Vir Das is ready with a new show. It’s called Inside Out and it premiers on Netflix on December 16.

Explaining the concept behind the show Vir says, “It started out just to raise money for different charities. I'd do an online show every night to raise money and give the ticket sales away. To warm up the audience I'd ask 'whats the first thing you're going to do when the world is normal again?'. Suddenly people all over opened up about their dreams. And I knew this was a moment I needed to capture. So the entire show is a comedian asking people across the world that one question.”

Vir says he enjoyed his lockdown period. “I’ve been a circus performer for the past decade, travelling seven months a year. So I’ve never had this kind of time at home. So it’s nice to have this pause. So far I’ve been regurgitating output for the past decade now I’ve time to ingest content. And I had really been ignoring the digital platform. So far I had done some stand-up on Netflix. But never played the YouTube or the Instagram game. I am just taking time off to put up some uplifting feel good content on those two platforms.”

Vir feels  the lockdown is the best thing that could have happened to contain the virus. “Absolutely I feel our central  government and state  ministers  have done  a really good job.  Every country is marching to its own beat in this Corona crisis. India too is doing its own thing and the Government decided in the lockdown at the right time. But I would love to see more testing kits and better relief  packages.”
