Revered for her crass in-your-face style, Margaret Cho burst onto the scene in 1994 with her sitcom All American Girl and has since become one of the most prolific and critically acclaimed comedians of our time. In 1999, she chronicled her legendary struggles with network executives over her weight and ethnicity into a groundbreaking one-woman show, I'm The One That I Want, praised by Entertainment Weekly as one of the "Great Performances of the Year!" In her following stand-up concert tours and films, Notorious C.H.O., Revolution, Assassin and Beautiful, Margaret's tackled the axis of evil, organized religion, homophobia, revolutionizing one's self-esteem, the joy of bodily functions, and of course, her now world-famous mother. Margaret is currently starring in the all-new comedic drama series, Drop Dead Diva, on Lifetime, Sundays at 9pm ET/PT. Her latest stand-up concert film, Beautiful, is airing on Showtime and is available on DVD from Image Entertainment.
A brilliant, taboo-busting comedian in the spirit of Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor and George Carlin, Margaret Cho is known as much for her enormous contributions as a social equalizer as she is for her raunchy humor. She has been honored by the ACLU of Southern California, the National Organization for Women (NOW), GLAAD, the Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (NGLTF), the Asian American Legal Defense and Education Fund (AALDEF), and PFLAG for making a significant difference in promoting equal rights for all, regardless of race, sexual orientation or gender identity.
Margaret will be touring with a brand new stand up show this fall that features a healthy mix of comedy and live music. She'll be performing songs from her forthcoming comedy music album, featuring collaborations with Tegan and Sara, Jon Brion, Andrew Bird, and Ben Lee, among others. Look for Cho Dependent on August 24th!
