New Netflix Comedy Special Vir Das: Fool Volume Premieres July 18

Chandigarh, June 20
What if being the fool is actually the smartest thing you can do? That’s the question Vir Das is asking in his brand-new Netflix comedy special, Fool Volume, premiering July 18. The Emmy®️-winning comedian, known for turning sharp observations into side-splitting stand-up, returns with his most personal show yet — raw, reflective, and totally ridiculous in all the best ways.
This marks Vir’s fifth comedy special with Netflix — the first Indian comedian to hit that milestone. Over the years, he’s built a global following with shows like Abroad Understanding and Landing, blending hilarity with heart, cultural commentary with chaos, and packing punchlines that cross borders.
But Fool Volume comes from a very different place.
“I was supposed to shoot a completely different show,” Vir reveals. “And then, two months before filming, I lost my voice. What came next was a rewrite in silence, no rehearsals, and performances all over the world — driven by the noise inside my head rather than the sound from my throat.” The result? A special that dives into joy, identity, and what it really means to speak your truth — even if it makes you look like the fool.
With his trademark mix of sharp humor and self-deprecating honesty, Vir invites audiences to laugh at life’s absurdities — and maybe find a little wisdom in the chaos.
