    Ignore the Haters! This is GOOD COMEDY!

    I was definitely apprehensive. I thought I wouldn't relate to her. I was wrong.

    Zarna is down-to-earth FUNNY! You end up laughing at her, laughing with her, and eventually laughing at ourselves! Imagine sitting down with your favorite, funny Aunt. That's how the setting seemed to me. She is not afraid to address what some would consider "taboo"!

    Nothing offensive, really. Jokes are fair & funny... and no one is spared (not even her family)!

    Be aware that some "haters" who want to bring her down will say otherwise. Don't let them deter you from watching!

    Keep it up, Zarna! We need more comedians like you! 👍🏽 👏🏽👏🏽

    How to make fun of yourself

    I decided to watch Zarna Garg because I had nothing to lose, except a few minutes time. I give comedians 10 minutes to give me at least one chortle or laugh - or a damn good message. If they can't do it in the first 10 minutes, I go on to something else.

    She started off with chortles and giggles at the very beginning and they didn't end until the credits rolled.

    She makes fun of herself as a failed lawyer, her family (don't we all?), her mother country (shouldn't we all?), and of how Americans raise their kids. Those were painful laughs because of how painfully true they are.

    She reminds me of an Indian Mrs. Hughes.

    OH! And her act is "clean"! Enjoy! And find yourself in some of what she says. I promise it won't hurt.

    Loved it!

    Thought it was fresh and funny. Different perspective coming from an immigrant parent --not just from an Indian kid born in the US.

    Although I'm somewhat familiar with Indian culture from friends and acquaintances, besides finding Zarna Garg humorous, she was authentic. I learned a substantial amount more about subtle aspects of Indian culture and family. And, it put some of my previous understanding in a new light.

    So glad I happened upon this Special on Amazon Prime. It is 67 minutes watching worth watching. I will watch it again. Rare for me to watch anything twice.

    Hoping any future new material will stay as fresh and authentic.

    Haven't laughed so hard since My Big Fat Greek Wedding

    Truly unique and family friendly comedy. Zarna is a trailblazer and her honesty and character shine through here. Her ability to captivate the audience for a full hour set is unparalleled as this is her first comedy special, I was truly amazed. I hope this is a trend and we get to see much more of what Zarna can bring.

    What I love about Zarna is that she can keep the whole family entertained and her jokes appeal not only to all immigrants but reflect the modern day USA, but with positive energy.

    A refreshing and honest spin on life, love, parenting, family. Zarna will make you laugh non stop!

    Don't waste your time

    This is one of the worst comedy shows ever. It is extremely boring. The jokes have nothing new and you would not even realize that it's time to laugh, if not for the crowd in the show. It made me wonder who sponsored this person got the show considering there are so many other way better comedians out there and struggling to get noticed. The other thing is her accent. Apparently she is an 'immigrant'. She is confused about her accent. Most times her accent is Indian (which is fine) but at other times she tries real hard to pull off an American accent. Oh well, I watched only about 10 min, the last few min went in writing thus review. Stay clear, safe time.
