Vir Das' Inside Out marks the first lockdown crowd work show that is completely unscripted. With this special, Vir also becomes the first Indian comedian to shoot a comedy special amid the quarantine. Going by the trailer, the special comes out to be a conversational series with impromptu comedy performed by Vir based on the chats that he had with his audience during his virtual shows.

All the proceeds from his 30 shows were directed to various charity organisations and the comedian intends to do the same with his lockdown special as well. The Indian audience can pay a minimum of ₹30 per view whereas the international audience will pay $1 for every view.

The special also allows people to donate more money if they wish. All the proceeds from Vir Das' Inside Out will be directed to four different charities working towards COVID-19 relief and the audience is free to pick which charity they want to donate to.
