Emmy award-winning and global comedy sensation Vir Das will be in town for a night of laughter at KBank Siam Pic-Ganesha, 7th floor of Siam Square One, Rama I Road, on May 19 at 8pm.

As part of his “Mind Fool Tour”, the stand-up comedy show will see the Indian comedian and actor perform his unique style of comedy, which often blends observatio­nal humour with social commentary.

Das is one of the most beloved global comedic voices of the 21st century who tackles complex issues with humour and insight. Known for his sharp wit and clever storytelli­ng, he has performed more than 180 shows in countries across the globe including a wildly successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

He won the Internatio­nal Emmy Award for his stand- up Netflix special Vir Das: Landing which premiered in late 2022 to universal praise from fans and critics alike.

The special, which he also directed, is a story about freedom, foolishnes­s, the West, the East, the notion of home and what it means to be a citizen of one nation in a global world. His previous special with Netflix was Vir Das: For India which received a 2021 Internatio­nal Emmy Nomination for Best Comedy.

In addition to his global success on the stand-up comedy stage, Das has created, produced and starred in multiple series, including the ABC spy drama-comedy Whiskey Cavalier, the thriller Hasmokh for Netflix, and the travel show Jestinatio­n Unknown for Amazon.

The 44-year-old is currently developing his own single- camera comedy with Fox, CBS Studios and Andy Samberg’s production company Party Over Here.

Tickets cost 1,800, 2,800 and 3,500 baht and can be purchased from Thai Ticket Major outlets (visit thaiticket­major.com).
