An Amazon Prime offering that released on Friday, a Netflix special to his name, and several years as a successful comic behind him, Vir Das, it appears, would know enough about what makes India laugh. Yet, when we ask him what prompted his latest endeavour, Das replies, "I'm just having fun."

Having embarked on a six-city tour with artistes Shruti Seth, Ashwin Mushran and Suresh Menon for Jestination Unknown, Das says he lived off the adrenalin rush. "We had to get to the city [in time], meet folks, write jokes on the go, and set up and market the show. All I told my research team was that they should get me food and interaction with the locals."
