ザーナ・ガーグとは？

Born in Mumbai and raised in a traditional Gujarati family, Garg eventually managed to immigrate to the US at the age of 16, where she joined her sister and sister’s family.

She went to college and law school in the US and eventually became a lawyer. She left her legal career after the birth of her first child and tried stand-up comedy at the urging of her daughter, who thought she had a humorous side. The comedian explained to SEEMA two years back:

“I couldn’t think of a smart, romantic comedy written by an Indian woman and thought I may be able to fill that space.”

Garg’s success in writing comedy led her to test her jokes on live audiences. In her early days as a stand-up comedian, she took jokes from her hit screenplay and weaved them into her act. She began with open mics but soon evolved to producing her own shows. Garg performs for sold-out audiences at top clubs across the US, with “Sari, Not Sorry”being one of her celebrated shows. It was featured in Broadway and several other venues and platforms. My American Dream is her debut show at Amazon Prime Video.

Many of Garg’s jokes are aimed at presenting the South Asian immigrant experience, and it seems that this is her niche. She also displays the courage to publicly take on her mother-in-law. She began with shows targeting an Indian audience at parks and subways but soon became an online sensation during the pandemic.

With her experience and popularity, Garg is among the minuscule number of female Indian comedians across the globe. Zarna Garg: One in a Billion is produced by Amazon Studios and Comedy Dynamics. Garg, Brian Volk-Weiss, and Cisco Henson serve as executive producers along with Christina Shams, Cameron S. Mitchell, and Brinda Bhatt.

Zarna Garg: One in a Billion premiers on Prime Video on May 16, 2023.
