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. Vir talks with Marc about wanting his comedy and acting to appeal to a global community, a goal that was met with some resistance in 2021 when he performed a monologue called “Two Indias” in Washington, DC. They talk about the fallout from that performance, the right wing push in India, and Vir’s experience in Bollywood films. <p>Sign up here for WTF+ to get the full show archives and weekly bonus material! <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="https://plus.acast.com/s/wtf-with-marc-maron-podcast">https://plus.acast.com/s/wtf-with-marc-maron-podcast</a>.</p>
