After being the first comedian from India to be signed by the World's Largest Agency CAA, and a sold-out US comedy tour, Vir Das has achieved a new milestone internationally.
Vir has been signed by one of America's largest comedy management companies - Levity Entertainment Group. This gives him the most powerful agency and management combination of any comedian from the subcontinent.
Vir recently did a small comedy tour in the U.S. bagging the first ever Indian to perform sold out shows at prestigious venues like the Carolines on Broadway and Hollywood Improv. This is where he was discovered and recruited by Levity. The next step is a very large America tour and through this association LEG aims at introducing him to the American audience in addition to executives and producers at the networks and studios.
Vir, who is absolutely excited about this association said, "It's honestly great to have the best Management firm and Agency in the country handling my career. There's a global spot for an original Indian voice out there in comedy, television and film. Levity CAA and I agree that we need to take that spot together in 2016."
Commenting about working with Vir, Comedy Manager and Producer, Levity Entertainment Group, Reg Tigerman said, "We work with a variety of artists from around the world. Working with someone that has the experience, achievements, and talent that Vir encapsulates is an exciting new endeavor. We are constantly searching for artists with authentic points-of-view. From the moment we saw a clip of Vir on YouTube and then seeing him in a packed house at the Hollywood Improv, it was immediately apparent how unique Vir is, how diligently and passionately he has worked to achieve what he has to date, and the undeniable potential to elevate him on a global level."
