Indian Comedy
First time I went to Vir Das. I did not know what to expect from it. I bought the ticket last moment. But I assure you that guy is funny. His material was very international. He also had a good interaction wit the audience. Although I sometimes missed a joke, I had a very pleasant evening.
Fantastic show!
Seeing Vir Das perform for the first time was a real treat. He has great energy, stage presence and wit. As a non-Indian, some parts were lost on me, but these moments were few and far between. His cutting insights into the human condition, whether it pertain to sexuality, religion, politics or whatever taboo topic were universally relevant. A great comedian whom I would definitely see again. Amazing show!
Missed topicality
The show was entertaining but it was a Europe tour and I was hoping for some gags around the idiosyncracies of Indians in Europe or some European reference atleast. Antwerp after all is a Gujurati dominated diamond merchants town which should provide enough fodder for gags. Instead all we got was jokes on dumb delhities and Americans. It came across as a rehash of his America tour. As if this European tour was an afterthought and didn’t merit any research or effort. Slightly disappointed.
