Vir Das to go on world tour

Actor-comedian Vir Das is all set to embark on a world tour with a new show in association with international artiste management agency Creative Artists Agency (CAA).

Vir is currently busy with the scripting of the show.

"I'm busy writing the new show for its world debut. There's a huge world market out there that we are focusing on together. Right now we are looking at a map and deciding which countries and cities we want to target," Vir said in a statement.

CAA is known for managing names like Jimmy Fallon, Billy Crystal, Jon Stewart, Whoopi Goldberg, John Cleese and Whitney Cummings.

Vir is happy about the opportunity.

"It's good to be on a list with your idols and to tour and represent Indian comedy on this kind of scale. On the acting front, stay tuned for some great news, it's going to be exciting," he added.
