BROTHER vs OTHER | Vir Das | Stand-Up Comedy |

We discuss, othering, war, majority, minority and more. Ten on Ten is fresh material written the night before a show to talk about the difficult things through comedy. I'm also on a world tour. 33 Countries. Get tix on my site!

[@thevirdas]

So apparently i'm crap at titling videos. We changed it to Brother vs Other unless you people who know amazing things about the algorithm have a better suggestion? I would appreciate your spreading the world for this digitally irrelevant fellow :-) and yeah...comment for the algo and stuff.

Vir Das. I CONSUMED you for hours and hours last evening and today (I've always been a fan), and I'm just so overwhelmed (in the best possible way) by your intelligence, by how well informed you are, the way you rep the country globally like no other celebrity with your knowledge of everything from statistics to history, literally EDUCATING ppl while you make them laugh and HOW - punch after punch after fucking punch! And the balls of steel that you have baba. Comfortable with uncomfortable topics, sensitive with, well, sensitive topics, and funny as hell through it all! Okay I truly believe that noone reps India the way you do (and this seems like a good time to acknowledge the fact that YOU were in an American TV show first, yes?). Oh and I also truly believe that if everyone in the country heard you talk about everything you do talk about - from feminism, inclusivity, politics and all the way to history, statistics and the whole world, not only would people learn shit, but would also be better people! Shit, I've never commented on anything before.. Not with so much passion at least! But you deserve love, adulation, respect and SO MUCH MORE! You, I think, are the most intelligent man not just in comedy, but like in general, in the country and the world and shit! Lots of love and respect.

[@achyutarjun]

Sometimes I forget if he’s doing stand-up or delivering philosophical/motivational speech. But gotta say, I have got mad respect for this guy. Love everything he does. Dropping truth bombs wrapped in jokes, and giving us reality checks. This guy is a legend. ❤

The fact that he mimicked a pressure cooker whistle at the end to make it sound like a siren is probably the most layered and genius message I have heard from him yet. That was incredible.

Lots Of Love and LOL.

[@jraj9696]

Saying this again man, I hope you read this. I miss old Vir Das. My mom listens to everything you say but through an old guy wearing robes and sitting on a gigantic throne, talking in a native toung to the crowd who is there just to cheer everything he says. Please don't be that guy; atleast some times. This is not me being a comedy expert, but just your, once loyal, customer trying to give you an honest feedback. Maybe I am no longer your target audience, but I still hope to see the Vir again who would make me laugh more than cheer. Will keep coming back to find that Vir though. Love!

[@vaxni]

These thoughts should reach to every one in the world because it applies to all the countries and its citizens. Golden word put together. Bitter truth and reality. Youngsters are weponised with hatred by older people by the name of history.

You are what I wanted in India. If I can think of who can do the "Patriot Act" for India, it is you. Love your #TenOnTen series! Can you do something on the lines of - "Climate change and the bull shit Net Zero promises the world leaders are making which is obviously after the expiry date of the world?". Given how much of traction this is gaining where people spray paint every place and games to let people know. Your voice will amplify the cause! ❤️

[@MjsticCpybr]

More than comedy, this is a brilliantly effective argument. Your usage of analogy and comedy strengthens the claim and makes it accessible. Wonderfully done.
