Vir Das Wants You To Listen To The Sounds Of India

Vir Das wants you to listen to the sounds of India.

- 

And for that, he's devised a show that will start in Kanyakumari and go right up to Kashmir.

Called Sounds Of India, this will be the stand-up comic's largest ever India tour.

"It's my 20th year, I wanted to do something very, very special. So I wanted to write a show about India. It's kind of a love letter to India," Vir Das says at the launch.

Why make a stand-up comedy show based on sound?

I had been travelling for many years. This year alone, I went to 33 countries. Through all of that, I realised how much I miss India. To truly understand and love something, sometimes, you have to miss it.

For me, memory feels like a voice. When you miss India, you'll hear it before you see it. That's really where the idea started.

If you ever go to your terrace at night in India, you'll hear sounds from everywhere.

What's beautiful is that all of us hear them equally, no matter where we are from.

That feeling of hearing home in your head when you're far away... that's the soul of the show.

So if you come to the show, you will hear over 65 sounds -- everything from nature to news to nostalgia.

The structure is a bit like a cricket match in its pace. It is fast, dynamic, and constantly changing.

We take you through every state in India.

Each state has a sound.
