Zarna Garg On How To Make REAL Money in Standup Business | What Do You Bring To The Table Podcast #zarnagarg #comedy #indian --- About Rajiv Satyal: Rajiv Satyal is a prominent comedian and host based in Los Angeles, best known for his clean, family-friendly comedy that appeals to a wide and diverse audience. He began his stand-up career in his hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio. His entry into comedy was anything but conventional—his first performance took place in a locker room for tennis icon Pete Sampras, then ranked as the world’s number one player. Since that unconventional debut, Rajiv has reached several major milestones. He once performed in front of 17,000 people as the opening act for Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and created the viral video *I AM INDIAN*, which amassed over 100 million views, gained praise from Bollywood celebrities, and was featured at Modi’s events in Shanghai and Dubai. He also holds the distinction of being the first comedian to deliver a full one-hour stand-up set in India. Rajiv has opened for Russell Peters more frequently than any other Indian comedian and has shared the stage with renowned performers like Tim Allen, Sebastian Maniscalco, Jo Koy, Kevin Nealon, and Dave Chappelle—including opening for Chappelle’s first post-Africa show. One of Rajiv’s most cherished moments was closing a set at New York’s Gotham Comedy Club right after his comedy hero, Jerry Seinfeld. --- About Zarna Garg: Zarna Garg entered the stand-up comedy scene in 2018 with an open mic appearance in New York City, soon followed by her first official show at Carolines on Broadway in February 2019. Her debut romantic comedy screenplay, *Rearranged*, won Best Comedy Screenplay at the 2019 Austin Film Festival and was a semi-finalist in the 2019 Academy Nicholl Fellowships. In 2021, she clinched first place in Kevin Hart’s Peacock competition *Lyft Comics* and was named Newcomer Winner at the Ladies of Laughter Awards. In 2022, she was featured in Apple TV’s *Gutsy*, hosted by Hillary and Chelsea Clinton, as one of America’s boldest female comedians. Zarna’s journey has been highlighted on *Tamron Hall*, *Today*, and *This American Life*, where she credited her daughter Zoya as the inspiration behind her comedy. She later appeared again on *This American Life*, this time alongside her husband, Shalabh. In 2023, *Variety* named her one of its “10 Comics to Watch.” Her debut comedy special, *Zarna Garg: One in a Billion*, premiered on Prime Video on May 16, 2023, and was recorded at New York's Gramercy Theatre in September 2022. *The New York Times* critic Jason Zinoman praised her for her “quick set-ups, rapid-fire punchlines,” and described her as having “the kind of presence that powers network sitcoms.” Her second special, *Practical People Win*, is set to release on Hulu in July 2025. Zarna’s memoir, *This American Woman*, was published on April 29, 2025, becoming a New York Times bestseller and earning a 4.57 rating on Goodreads. She is also the creator and host of *The Zarna Garg Family Podcast*, which is available on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other major platforms. --- Connect with Rajiv Satyal: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/funnyindian/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/RajivSatyal Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/funnyindian/?hl=en X / Twitter - https://x.com/funnyindian Website - https://rajivsatyal.com/ Book Rajiv Satyal for Your Next Event - rajiv@funnyindian.com Video Editor - Satwinder Singh Rajiv Satyal, Zarna Garg, Zarna Garg Interview, Zarna Garg Podcast, Rajiv Satyal Comedy, Rajiv Satyal Comedian, Comedian Zarna Garg, Rajiv Satyal Indian American, Indian American Rajiv Satyal, Zarna Garg Video, Rajiv Satyal Standup, Rajiv Satyal Standup Comedy, Zarna Garg Standup Video, Rajiv Satyal Comedy, Zarna Garg Comedy Video, Comedy Video Zarna Garg, Zarna Garg on India, Zarna Garg Indian Gods, Rajiv Satyal India Comedy, Zarna Garg Comedy Video, Standup Comedy Rajiv Satyal, Zarna Garg Standup,
