India's favorite standup comedian
Vir Das took audiences across Aurangabad and Mumbai on a laughter riot over the
past weekend with two shows of Ashvin Gidwani Productions' 'History of India
VIRitten'. Performing before packed houses, Vir was at his witty and hilarious
best.
A quick wit and a fast tongue
have propelled Vir Das to superstardom and he looks set to stay there in the
near future. The show in Aurangabad organised by the Kalasagar Social Group was
held on September 6 and in typical Vir fashion, he had the audience in splits
throughout. Vir displayed his knack for playing with words when he said, “A
comedian should always be innovative in his act while performing a comedy
seriously.”
Over 2.5 lakh people have watched
the show since its inception. Vir also said that his most memorable performance
was when he performed the act live in front of former president Dr. A.P.J.
Abdul Kalam. The show was received with rapturous applause in Mumbai on
September 7 and continues to be one of the main draws in the theatre portfolio
for Ashwin Gidwani Productions.
With theatre experiencing a resurgence
across the country and stalwarts such as Vir Das, Achint Kaur and Saurabh
Shukla showcasing the artform to large numbers, there is a silver lining for
actors and thespians nationwide; surely
a sign of good things to come.
