The Artists
Zarna Garg
Zarna Garg is a force of nature with a mic. America’s first Indian immigrant mom comedian burst onto the scene in 2023 with her first special, One in a Billion. Her follow-up special, Practical People Win, hits Hulu in 2025. Zarna cut her teeth opening for icons Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Her acting debut in the indie hit A Nice Indian Boy earned rave reviews, while her hugely popular Zarna Garg Family Podcast explores modern family life with her husband and kids. With millions of social media followers and billions of views, Zarna just can’t stop laughing her way to the top. This American Woman will be released on April 29.
