Having started his career as a doorman at New York's legendary "Boston Comedy Club," Tarun moved to L.A., quickly advancing to performing at colleges, corporate gigs, weddings, touring the Middle East for our troops, and club venues across the country.
He was one of the first original YouTube Partners where he wrote/acted/produced in the hit viral web series "Desi OC," garnering over 3 million views, and the independent movie "Bobby Khan's Ticket to Hollywood." He wrote/produced a comedy segment “Generation Desi” on the global program, “Showbiz India,” and also wrote/produced on staff for G4TV. He was a series lead in the Disney's pilot "Code 9," guest-starred on NBC's "Grimm" and the thriller "DOE." He co-starred in the sitcom pilot "No Money Down" that he also co-produced and was a cast member on Fox’s reality show “Flirty Dancing.”
As a writer/producer/director, Tarun is a graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts film school. He created the web series, "Rinku and Dinesh" "Critical Mass," "Colorblind," "P.I.p.i.", his Facebook travel show “Tarun’s Travels,” the Instagram series “Brothers” and various spec commercials. His web series “Writers Group” will premiere at the L.A. Comedy Festival in 2021.
He’s most proud of his two books, “LAUGHING IN HELL” - a fiction book based upon true real life events. It’s a gritty story about the world of stand-up comedy and “THE GOLDEN EAGLES” - about the adventures of a freshman at a New Hampshire boarding school. (clickable links below - avail on Amazon!)
