Vir Das doesn’t worry about fitting in. He was born in India, grew up in Nigeria, went to school in America, lived and worked in Europe, and now lives back in his country of origin.

Customer Reviews
My favorite podcast
Marc Maron has had a profound impact on my life in the past 10 years. Always anchors me personally to the day,and is a constant way for me to relate to the world of popular entertainment while sparking positive introspection and laughter.
Who Knew
This podcast is great, but who knew Marc was so good on film?? Just watched To Leslie and didn’t want his scenes to end. Great movie and fantastic cast. Thanks, Marc, that was really enjoyable.
Professional
This is how a true pro brings all his powers and charm to this worthy endeavor. I just finished watching TO LESLIE and at first I thought it was going to be too heavy; maybe even depressing. It certainly did have the subject matter capable of bringing even the most optimistic mood down. But the charming Mr. Maron brings such skill to his role and delivers us a character whose journey I wanted to share; even wishing I could be like, that I feel honored to call myself a “ friend of the show “! I actually cried! And I don’t know if I’ve ever cried watching a show before in my entire life! It’s an absolutely perfectly crafted masterpiece that lifted me in a deep way. Marc is a Superstar!
