Comedian Vir Das is coming to the UAE as part of the Dubai Comedy Festival, where he will debut elements from his new standup ‘See You Outside Tour’.
The star will take to the stage on October 22nd. The Dubai Comedy Festival will run from October 21 to 24.
Alongside comedy, Das is an actor and musician. Although, he might have to tone down some of his well-known rant comedy when he comes to the UAE; the star regularly posts clips from his stand-up shows revolve around Bollywood scandals and the media.
You can check out his YouTube channel here.
Das has played in Dubai before. He sold-out his first show at the Dubai Opera earlier this year. He has more than 1,000 plus live shows under his belt. He also recently starred in web series Hasmukh, and Netflix specials For India and Abroad Understanding.
Last year Vir Das became India’s highest-selling comedian. The See You Outside Tour has come fresh from a six month coronavirus lockdown, and is sure to highlight the lighter side of being stuck inside due to the pandemic.
The Dubai Comedy Festival is produced by BRAG, Live Nation and DXB Live. BookMyShow and Front Row Events partnered to bring Vir Das to Dubai. For more information, as well as booking info, go here. Tickets cost AED145 for balcony seats, AED195 for the grandstand and AED250 for floor seats.

The Pointe’s Palm Fountains will officially start on October 22nd, and will attempt to win the coveted Guinness World Record as the tallest fountain in the world. That means when complete, these fountains will be bigger than the ones at The Dubai Mall, which were inspired by the dancing fountains from Las Vegas’ Bellagio Hotel.
