After charming the world (and bagging an International Emmy while at it), global comedy powerhouse Vir Das is back; this time louder, bolder, and funnier than ever! Premiering on July 18, Vir Das: Fool Volume is filmed across Mumbai, New York, and London - making this not just a comedy special, but a cross-continental rollercoaster!

This Netflix special reintroduces the comedian's signature multi-city format that stitches together stages, cultures, and moods. What's different this time around, you ask? Just weeks before filming the biggest show of his career, Vir lost his voice - literally and creatively. What came next was Fool Volume: his most self-aware work to date. Armed with his trademark blend of wit, heart, and just enough irreverence to keep your parents nervous, Vir takes on everything from silence and self-doubt to rediscovering joy. Its comedy that doesn't just punch up - it reaches out.

In a world overflowing with takedowns and hot takes, Vir Das: Fool Volume is a mic-drop of humanity. Whether on grand stages or in unexpected corners of the world, Vir proves that humour travels, laughter connects, and compassion might just be the funniest thing of all.

Tanya Bami, Series Head, Netflix India, shares, "It is always a joy to collaborate with Vir. His comedy is rooted and yet presents his unique local perspective to audiences across the world. He's solely responsible for putting Indian comedy on the global map with not just his International Emmy but with each special he curates on Netflix, and our journey with Vir has only grown over the years. Collaborating on a fifth special is something we've never done before with an Indian comedian, and it's a milestone we're incredibly proud of. Fool Volume is indeed special because of how personal it is. It presents the turbulence around silence for a person who's known for his voice, making it both poignant and comic."

Talking about his new special, Vir Das says, This special is a journey across countries, cultures, and a whole lot of internal chaos. For me, comedy has always been more than just punchlines. It's about connection. Whether youre in London, New York, or Mumbai, laughter sounds the same. This special is a celebration of that shared language of finding joy in the chaos, meaning in the absurd, and kindness in the noise. If someone watches it and feels a little lighter, a little more understood, or just laughs until their stomach hurts. That's the magic I'm chasing.

This marks Vir's fifth Netflix special - making him the first Indian comedian to reach that milestone. With global successes like Abroad Understanding, Losing It, For India and his International Emmy -winning special Landing, each special has pushed Indian comedy further onto the world stage.

Turn your Netflix to Fool Volume on June 18!
