Quotes
Vir Das
Indian stand-up comedian and actor nominated for the International Emmy
“There's something wonderfully strange about being nominated for an International Emmy for a show called Fool Volume. This special came from a period when I literally lost my voice, so to see something that began in silence travel this far is pretty surreal.”
