TALKS AT GOOGLE
About this episode

Zarna Garg is a force of nature with a microphone. The award-winning comedian, author, producer and screenwriter brought her sharp, relatable family humor to her first streaming special, “One in a Billion.” When Zarna’s not at the Comedy Cellar opening for icons like Tiny Fey and Amy Poehler or appearing on The Tonight Show and Late Night, she’s selling out headlining shows worldwide.

Zarna made her acting debut in New York Times Critics pick “A Nice Indian Boy.” She also has a podcast, “The Zarna Garg Family Podcast,” that explores modern life with her husband and kids.

She joins Google to discuss her book, “This American Woman: A One-In-A-Billion Memoir.” The memoir tells the story of her treacherous climb from a homeless teen in Mumbai to an unhinged stay-at-home mom in New York, and then to an internationally beloved stand-up comedian. It’s an exuberant story of fighting for your right to determine your own destiny and triumph beyond what you dreamed was possible.
