The memoir is set to take a deep dive into his many phases of life highlighting that the comedy world isn’t the only place where he’s always felt like an outsider. Whether he’s stranded on a beach in Mexico, navigating cultural identity, or dealing with the highs and lows of a career that spans continents, Vir’s journey has been one of constant self-discovery, heartbreak, failure, and, of course, laughter.
Vir took to his social media to announce the book The Outsider - A Memoir for Misfits highlighting with a very deeply personal video showcasing the many chapters of his life, his identity, his career. The video announcement highlights his awkwardness, his global dominance, his lows as a comedian, his highs of being on world stage and to becoming the person he is today. In his words the book is guided from one idiot, fool, drifter, loser, dreamer and misfit to a world of such people.
