Vir Das - Hey Stranger

4.7

Get ready for a night of sharp wit, global perspective, and nonstop laughs when Vir Das brings his Hey Stranger tour to downtown Austin.

This Emmy-winning comedian and international star has built a worldwide following by turning his life as a perpetual outsider into smart, fearless stand-up. One moment he’s unpacking culture clashes and identity, the next he’s riffing on politics, heartbreak, and the bizarre beauty of modern life.

Vir is the creative mind behind multiple acclaimed Netflix specials, including Fool Volume, the visually rich set that Vulture praised as “a uniquely sumptuous experience,” and Landing, which earned him the International Emmy Award for Best Comedy. He’s also a Bollywood actor, a TV creator, an author with his memoir The Outsider, and the frontman of India’s premier comedy-rock band, Alien Chutney.

At this Austin stop on the Hey Stranger tour, you can expect an evening packed with:

High-energy storytelling that jumps from India to Hollywood and everywhere in between
Insightful takes on belonging, freedom, and life on the road
Smart, adult-oriented humor with a global edge
The polished stagecraft of a comic who sells out legendary venues around the world

If you love comedy that’s bold, thoughtful, and unafraid to cross borders, this show at 713 Congress is your chance to see one of stand-up’s most influential international voices live on stage.
