Now playing at NJPAC, *Million Dollar Excuses* is a stand-up comedy event featuring Zarna Garg and other performers. The show revolves around the small lies, self-justifications, and family negotiations that people use to get through modern life, especially across immigrant and multi-generational households. Its themes land naturally in the New York area, where these frictions are part of the everyday civic soundtrack. One clear strength is the way personal anecdotes are treated less as confession than as social record.
