Vir Das Brings the Hey Stranger Tour to America in 2026

Emmy Award-winning comedian Vir Das is hitting the road with his Hey Stranger Tour in 2026, bringing his globe-spanning comedy to 12+ American cities from February through April. Fresh off the success of his Netflix special Fool Volume and his memoir The Outsider, Vir continues to break records as India's biggest stand-up comedian on the world stage.

Who Is Vir Das?

Vir Das is an Emmy-winning comedian, actor, and one of the most global voices in stand-up today. The New York Times has declared that "no artist embodies the globalization of stand-up like Vir Das." Born in India and educated around the world, Vir brings a unique cross-cultural perspective to his comedy that resonates with audiences on every continent.

His most recent Netflix special, Fool Volume, which he also directed, earned praise from Vulture as "a uniquely sumptuous experience." His previous special, Landing, won the 2023 International Emmy Award for Best Comedy—his second Emmy nomination after Vir Das: For India earned recognition in 2021.

The Hey Stranger Tour

The Hey Stranger Tour follows Vir's record-breaking Mind Fool World Tour, which visited 33 countries across every continent except Antarctica. This new tour continues his mission of global comedy domination, bringing his sharp observations on identity, freedom, belonging, and modern life to iconic American theaters.

As India's biggest stand-up comedian and a Bollywood star, Vir was the second best-selling live act in India. His international appeal has grown exponentially through Netflix specials, sold-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and performances at legendary venues like Carnegie Hall and London's Eventim Apollo.

Beyond Stand-Up

Vir Das is a multi-platform talent. He has created, produced, and starred in multiple series including ABC's spy drama-comedy Whiskey Cavalier, Netflix's thriller Hasmukh, and Amazon's travel series Jestination Unknown. He appeared in Judd Apatow's Netflix feature The Bubble and continues developing TV and film projects. He's also the lead singer of India's premier comedy-rock band, Alien Chutney.
