Stand-up comedian and actor Vir Das is all set to come up with his new special Vir Das: Fool Volume. The special will be out on Netflix on July 18. Surprisingly, before shooting for the act, Vir lost his voice.

“Netflix and I were about to shoot a special with a different theme. The universe had other plans. I lost my voice two months before that show. This is a show rewritten in silence and performed without rehearsal across the world. Turns out the voice in your head is way crazier than the one in your throat. A special that asks the important question—how much happiness do you share when it comes back? What does it mean for any of us to really use our voice?” Vir Das recalled. The special marks Vir Das’ fifth stand-up special for the streamer. Meanwhile, Vir in March announced his memoir, The Outsider—A Memoir for Misfits.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
