What's Special Different About Vir Das's New Netflix Special
"Netflix and I were about to shoot a special with a different theme. The universe had other plans. I lost my voice two months before that show. This is a show rewritten in silence and performed without rehearsal across the world. Turns out the voice in your head is way crazier than the one in your throat. A special that asks the important question: How much happiness do you share when it comes back? What does it mean for any of us to REALLY use our voice?" Vir Das said in a statement.
Vir Das And Netflix Go Way Back
In 2023, Vir Das became the first Indian comic to win an International Emmy Award in the best comedy category for Vir Das: Landing, his fourth Netflix special.
This was his second nomination at the International Emmys which he converted into a win. His first nod, also with the streamer, was for Vir Das: For India in 2021.
In A Nutshell
Vir Das: Full Volume. The streamer has billed the special as his most personal special yet.
