You’ve likely seen Zarna Garg - the Indian immigrant mom and comedy sensation cracking mom jokes on Instagram ( / zarnagarg ) , opening ( / crnwsggais2 ) for Tina Fey, or most recently, making headlines for her comedy special, Zarna Garg: One in a Billion (www.amazon.com/Zarna-Garg-One...) , which premiered on Amazon Prime in May.
But do you know what came before?
Born and raised in India, Zarna Garg (zarnagarg.com/) immigrated to the U.S. as a teenager to escape her father's plans for an arranged marriage. She landed in Akron, Ohio, where she pursued her B.S. at the University of Akron and a J.D. at Case Western Reserve's School of Law. After practicing law for several years, she became a stay-at-home mom for 16 years - until 2018, when she unexpectedly launched a career in... comedy.
Today, Zarna is a regular at New York’s iconic Comedy Cellar and Caroline's on Broadway. She has toured nationally at historic venues like the Kennedy Center; opened for the likes of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler; and starred in Hillary Clinton and Chelsea Clinton’s new show, Gutsy (tv.apple.com/us/show/gutsy/um...) . Her special marks just the latest milestone in a growing list of accomplishments, which include another national tour and a film she’ll soon star in alongside Deadpool's Karan Soni (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karan_Soni) . Join us for a conversation full of funny, as we hear how Zarna went from one open mic to full-fledged comedian, her encouraging advice for moms and creatives yearning for their turn, and what’s next for the rising star.
