Vir Das: I Scare Myself In Order To Do Better As Comedian

Actor-comedian Vir Das, who has received the International Emmy nomination for his streaming comedy special 바카라Landing바카라, has said that he loves to 바카라scare바카라 himself with regards to his work and that he really enjoys the process to work on something which is 바카라impossible바카라.

And it바카라s this perspective of him towards his work that has brought him international recognition.

Talking to IANS in the light of his nomination, Vir, who also actively takes up acting gigs and is currently busy directing a project, said that he enjoys making the tasks difficult for himself.

Furnishing the reason behind the same, he quoted the example of his recent show, as he told IANS: 바카라I like to remove the trappings of comfort from my shows. I could have done this comedy special at a huge stadium with numerous cameras focusing on me from different angles but I wanted to keep it simple and Netflix was gracious enough to agree to that.바카라

He further mentioned: 바카라In this special there바카라s no set, there바카라s just one stool. There바카라s no production as such, there바카라s only some sand on the floor, there바카라s not even any enhanced lighting. In such a case, the special rides just on the words that come out of the comedian바카라s mouth and the content. So, I like to scare myself in that sense.바카라

The comic artiste also feels that the greatest achievement for any artiste is when their audience walks back home with a small part of the performer in their minds, a moment where humanity shines through.

He told IANS: 바카라There is a demarcation between an artiste and their personality but the greatest glimpses of artistry happen when the lines between the two are blurred. Every great song is about a real person who broke their heart in a moment of truth, isn바카라t it?바카라

To add contrast, the comedian also spoke up on the ongoing wars across different parts of the world be it Russia-Ukraine or between Israel and Hamas. He said in jest everybody wants to know comedians바카라 opinion on serious things like these because comedy is not enough apparently for comics.

He opined that human beings as a species are cyclical in nature and they keep making the same mistakes that they committed in the past.

바카라We as a species don바카라t learn from our mistakes in the past, we are of cyclical nature, I would say. We keep coming back to our ingrained behavior.바카라

But he has a glimmer of hope, 바카라Having said that, I바카라m optimistic because with every passing decade, we lift more people out of poverty, we educate more people and we document more humanity. The field of medicine and bioscience for instance, has shown tremendous growth. We do identify more principals and values for the future,바카라 he concluded.

Vir Das바카라s 바카라Landing바카라 is streaming on Netflix.
