Premiering on July 18, the trailer of his upcoming show Vir Das: Fool Volume is finally out. Filmed across Mumbai, New York, and London, this one鈥檚 not just a comedy special, it鈥檚 a cross-continental rollercoaster!

This Netflix special reintroduces the comedian鈥檚 signature multi-city format that stitches together stages, cultures, and moods. What鈥檚 different this time around, you ask? Just weeks before filming the biggest show of his career, Vir lost his voice 鈥 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. It鈥檚 a comedy that doesn鈥檛 just punch up, it reaches out.
Talking about his new special, Vir Das says, 鈥淭his special is a journey across countries, cultures, and a whole lot of internal chaos. For me, comedy has always been more than just punchlines 鈥 it鈥檚 about connection. Whether you鈥檙e in London, New York, or Mumbai, laughter sounds the same. This special is a celebration of that shared language 鈥 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 鈥 that鈥檚 the magic I鈥檓 chasing.鈥
While sharing the official trailer on his Instagram, Vir wrote, 鈥淚ndian comedy gets loud and it鈥檚 not messing around. Shot in multiple cities across the world, International Emmy-winning comedian Vir Das is back to make you laugh, think, and feel all the feels with his brand-new special. Watch Vir Das: Fool Volume, shot by an Indian crew on three continents, out July 18, only on Netflix.鈥
Earlier, while announcing one of the biggest shows of his life, Vir had shared, 鈥淣etflix and I were about to shoot a special with a different theme. The universe had other plans. I lost my voice two months before that show. This is a show rewritten in silence and performed without rehearsal across the world. Turns out the voice in your head is way crazier than the one in your throat.鈥

This marks Vir鈥檚 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 show has pushed Indian comedy further onto the world stage.
