Comedian Vir Das’ new special comes with a twist. The show is based on crowd work but the crowd is connected through video calling.

As the description for the trailer suggests, the proceeds from watching the standup will go to COVID-19 relief charities. It comes out on Vir Das’ website on 21 August. The Devil All The Time
