A mix of comedy and dishonesty from his uniquely Indian perspective, Vir's going to tell you some stories from his life: from growing up in India to studying in America, Indian culture to world politics, losing virginity to cancelling weddings, drug addiction, flying an Air India plane... The thing is, not all of his stories are true. And that's up to the audience to decide. 'The king of stand-up comedy... natural wit and spontaneity' (Times of India). 'Simply hysterical' (Hindustan Times. 'Nobody owns the stage like Vir Das' (Mumbai Mirror).

Vir Das on telling the truth with toilet humour

Vir Das is one of the biggest names in Indian comedy, and it's apt that his first name means 'brave' - the last time he was in town, things didn't quite go as planned.

Comedians recall their first gigs

Shappi Khorsandi felt as if she'd walked on the moon. Isy Suttie watched a man change a dressing on a wound as she spoke. Omid Djalili fell off the stage. So how did the first gigs of Paul Merton, Susan Calman and other top comics go?
