Vir Das asks people to not bring their children to his comedy shows, says 'stand-up shows are no place for a kid'

Vir Das requested his fans to come to his show without their children as it makes him ‘uncomfortable’ to make adult jokes in front of them.

Vir Das on Tuesday requested his fans to not bring their children with them while coming to watch his standup comedy show. He said even though the parents insist that it will not be a problem, he feels uncomfortable doing adult comedy in front of kids.

Vir Das requested fans to not attend his stand up comedy shows with their kids.

The note that Vir shared on his Instagram Stories, reads, “Hey folks, small request. Yesterday, a couple brought a 3-year-old to the show. I get that child care is super tough to ‘arrange. Appreciate anyone who arranges babysitters etc to come out. They said ‘she won't understand anything. But I'd be uncomfortable saying what I say in front of a child on the off chance the kid understood even a word. The audience would be uncomfortable laughing at it too."

Vir Das' request to people.

He added, “These are small rooms, full of adults, and stand-up shows are no place for a kid. The fringe festival in fact offers hundreds of amazing shows for kids, some of which I'm going to see too. I so so appreciate you wanting to come see me, but I wouldn't feel right doing material. Hope that's alright and I can see you at a show soon. Thanks, V.”

Apart from doing standup, Vir has acted in several films such as Namastey London, Mumbai Salsa, Love Aaj Kal, Go Goa Gone. He also starred in the Netflix dark comedy Hasmukh, which released last year.
