Comedian Vir Das Brings His ‘Wanted’ World Tour to Santa Barbara’s Lobero Theatre

Mumbai-based and Emmy-nominated comedian Vir Das brings what he hopes is “his funniest material yet” to the Lobero on October 20 — the fifth show on his freshly debuted Wanted world tour.

While this marks Das’s first time performing in Santa Barbara, Wanted will be his fifth Netflix special, set to premiere in December. The show embodies a complex comedic narrative that begins at the end of the controversy sparked by his viral “I Come from Two Indias” video in late 2021, the result of which prompted widespread backlash from the Indian government.

“The show begins at the end of the trouble that that clip caused, and it definitely was a life-changing moment, in that, for the first time, my love for my country had been called into question,” states Das.
