This week, I'm joined by comedy powerhouse Zarna Garg as she recounts her transition from practicing law (where her clients mostly ended up in jail) to becoming one of Variety’s '10 Comics to Watch.' Known for her razor-sharp wit, cultural insights, and brutally honest takes on life as an immigrant mom, Zarna dishes on her zig-zag journey. Imagine litigating to realizing you’re better at telling jokes about your mother-in-law than getting people out of jail. Add 16 years as a stay-at-home mom in NYC (three kids and a soul-crushing shoe-box apartment), and you have the perfect recipe for a comedy. Listen as Zarna talks about her stumble into a comedy club, where she hilariously tore into her mother-in-law and had an epiphany: 'Hey, I’m good at this!' She also doles out practical advice: dreams can change (now she’s got someone else getting her cilantro), persistence beats proof, and even gives a shout-out to her 'world-class ego destroyer' mother-in-law. Zarna's story is as inspiring as it is hilarious, packed with eye-openers on motherhood, chasing dreams, and making audiences—and mother-in-laws—laugh out loud.
