5 understated achievements of birthday boy Vir Das

Vir Das has made a made a mark on the global comedy landscape and has made us proud internationally with his immense talent. He has always managed to surprise us with his acts, both on and off-screen. There is an abundance of Indian artists who have made us proud on an international level but unfortunately, their capabilities and efforts have gone unrecognized.

Birthday boy of the day, Vir Das is one such case. Although, he has never spoken much about his achievements, but the occasion of his birthday calls out for bringing some of his relatively unknown achievements to light.

1. Vir has been signed on by not just one, but two of the biggest talent and management companies in the world, which are Levity and CAA. The former company is known to manage the best there is in the business of comedy, such as the likes of Amy Schumer, Kevin Hart and several others. On the other hand, after Priyanka Chopra, Vir actually became the second Indian to be officially represented by them!

2. Apart from being the first Indian to be on Netflix with his own original, a fact that is not known to many is that his own company, Weirdass Comedy became the first Indian production house to produce content and have it streamed on Netflix.

3. Thanks to his over 10 million followers across all social media platforms, he has become the most influential comedian on social media today in the country. He is also an inspiration to many budding Indian comedians.

4. He’s not only an entertaining personality but also a very enterprising one, as he is the founder of India’s only comedy consultancy – Weirdass Comedy. His firm develops scripts has its own comedy festival, produces shows Etc.

5. Vir is soon to make his debut as a writer and producer for films too!

Now, this makes us wonder if there is anything that Vir has not ventured into.

Here’s wishing The Boarding Das a very happy birthday and a long career of delivering rib-tickling laughter to us.
