Hey everybody, I just want to take a moment to talk about a new thing I'm doing.

Over the years, many of you have reached out to me telling me how much you love the podcast,

but also wish there were more personalized takeaways and more in-depth interactions with our guests

to hear what they think about comedy. This is why I'm now launching my new digital academy,

Blueprint for Success. With exclusive interviews and comedy philosophies of stars and industry veterans,

personalized versions of the industry standard podcast, commercial free, and one-on-one coaching

manager or an agent. Now I'm here to help, personally. We'll go on an express train of comedy

and entertainment like nobody else has before. You can find out more about Blueprint for Success

I rewrite on my seat in the room.

Welcome back to another episode of Industry Standard with me, Berrycats. Very excited

today. My guest here in Montreal, Vir Das, can't wait to get to it, can't wait to introduce him,

which I shall do now without further ado. I'll make it quick because this guy has a lot to say

and I'm really, really happy he's here. All right, Vir Das is the biggest English-speaking
