A source says, "Vir is the first-ever comedian from India to feature on the list. The success of Abroad Understanding spiked his popularity. Since he was touring the world with his comedy shows, he garnered more international recognition."
Vir features on the list along with Brian Jordan Alvarez, Rhea Butcher, John Early, Hassan Minhaj and Tiffany Haddish.
When we reached out to the 38-year-old, he said, "It's rewarding to be recognised and listed among some of the best talent in your space of work. I feel honoured. I couldn't be happier."
