GLOBAL COMIC: Vir Das is on stage at State Theatre New Jersey on April 12.

State Theatre New Jersey presents Vir Das: Mind Fool Tour on Saturday, April 12 at 8 p.m. Tickets range from $49-$199.

Comedian and Actor Vir Das’ fourth and most recent Netflix comedy special earned Das a 2023 International Emmy nomination for “Best Comedy,” his second overall. His previous Netflix special Vir Das: For India was nominated for a 2021 International Emmy for “Best Comedy” as well.

Landing, which Das also directed, is a story about freedom, foolishness, the West, the East, the notion of home, and what it means to be a citizen of one nation in a global world. The special offers food for thought for both current citizens of India, Indian-American children of immigrants, and even those with no ties to India. Das has performed the show more than 180 times in countries across the globe including a successful run at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

As India’s biggest stand-up comedian and a Bollywood star, Das was the second bestselling live act in the country last year. The Mind Fool tour is stopping in countries on every continent except Antarctica. In addition to his success on the standup comedy stage, Das has created, produced, and starred in multiple series, including the ABC spy drama-comedy Whiskey Cavalier, the thriller Hasmukh for Netflix, and the travel show Jestination Unknown for Amazon. He starred in Judd Apatow’s Netflix feature The Bubble and he is currently developing various TV and film projects. He is also the lead singer for India’s premiere comedy-rock band Alien Chutney.

State Theatre New Jersey is at 15 Livingston Avenue in New Brunswick. Visit stnj.org for tickets.
