One of the keys to good writing is specificity, and comedian Vir Das showed that in spades at his performance at the Lobero Theatre on October 20.
In his new show, Wanted, a comedy special focused primarily on his own life, he tells a story in a way that only he could tell it, about what happened to him after his November 2021 “Two Indias” speech (Vir Das | I COME FROM TWO INDIAS – YouTube) at The Kennedy Center went viral and made headlines around the world.
While the Emmy-nominated Comedian and Actor received loads of praise for the speech, its subject was that India (not unlike many nations) is a country of divisions and contradictions. The Indian government reacted by trying to silence him and take him to prison.
