Stand-up comedian and actor Vir Das is all set to come up with his new special 'Vir Das: Fool Volume'. The special will be out on Netflix on July 18. Surprisingly, before shooting for the act, Vir Das lost his voice.
"Netflix and I were about to shoot a special with a different theme. The universe had other plans. I lost my voice two months before that show. This is a show rewritten in silence and performed without rehearsal across the world," Vir Das recalled .
He added, "Turns out the voice in your head is way crazier than the one in your throat. A special that asks the important question: How much happiness do you share when it comes back? What does it mean for any of us to REALLY use our voice?"
The special marks Vir Das' fifth stand-up special for the streamer.
Meanwhile, Vir, in March 2025, announced his memoir, 'The Outsider- A Memoir for Misfits'. He took to social media to unveil the cover of his upcoming book, which he said has been in the works over the past two years.

The memoir, according to his publishers, "is set to take a deep dive into his many phases of life highlighting that the comedy world isn't the only place where he's always felt like an outsider."
In the book, amongst many incidents highlighted Vir recounts a memorable moment when, stranded on a pier in Cozumel, Mexico, with his cruise ship sailing away due to visa issues, he realized that being an outsider isn't just something he experiences--"it's who he is."
