Comedian Vir Das recently shared a touching story about a fan who fulfilled his long-time dream of attending one of his live performances. The fan, a psychology student from Vadodara, Gujarat, had messaged Das during his Wanted Tour two years ago, expressing her desire to attend a show, but had revealed at the time that she was unable to afford it. Were.
In a post on X, Veer recounted the moment when his team showed him the fan’s message. “Two and a half years ago a lovely child from Vadodara wrote to me about how one day, when they would start earning, they would come to meet me. And then they actually did and bought tickets to Toronto,” Das wrote.
Weir wrote how he was impressed by her determination and that his team offered free tickets and premium seats, but the fan politely declined and insisted on paying for his ticket. Impressed by her self-respect and independence, Veer made sure they met in person on the show. He gifts her a cake and receives a diary in return.
Das shared, “This kid who is studying psychology, is earning on his own, is self-respecting, is making his parents proud, is also worried like me about coming up empty handed. We met, and “I left confident about the future (sic).”
“Each audience member has a story. They’ve saved, driven, traveled, hired baby sitters, sacrificed other options, to get to the night I get to their city. It’s taken a lot to be in the room. That’s why I try and tell about them,” Veer said.
Weir is set to host his first Mindful Tour on December 1 in Toronto. Fans can attend one of two shows scheduled at 4 pm and 7 pm, both of which will take place at Meridian Hall. His next performance will be in Dublin on 4 December, followed by a final show at the Union Chapel in London on 6 December, where he will hold two sessions – one at 6pm and the other at 9pm.
