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 her groundbreaking one-woman show, "I’m The One That I Want," chronicled her legendary struggles on the sitcom, and became a best selling book and a concert film. Her 2001 "Notorious C.H.O." tour culminated in a sold-out show at Carnegie Hall, and in 2004, the CD of her "Revolution" tour was nominated for a Grammy. In 2005, Cho took her "Assassin" tour through the US, Canada and Australia. A revamp of her "State of Emergency" tour of the swing states of the 2004 Presidential election (hailed as "Murderously Funny!" by the NY Times), "Assassin" was her most political work to date.
In 2008, thirteen years after her catastrophic foray into television, Margaret returned to TV in the Vh1 series, "The Cho Show." Described as a ’reality sit-com,’ the series followed Margaret, her real parents, and her eccentric entourage through a series of experiences shaped by her ‘anything goes’ brand of stand-up.
Last year, Margaret also launched a brand new tour, "Beautiful," in Australia, where she was honored to be named Chief of the Sydney Mardi Gras Parade. After returning to the US, she embarked on a nationwide tour of “Beautiful,” which was capped off with a show at Radio City Music Hall, and filmed at the Long Beach Terrace Theater. "Beautiful," Margaret’s fifth concert film, premiered on Showtime Friday, July 3rd.
Margaret is also starring in the all-new comedic drama series, "Drop Dead Diva," on Lifetime, Sundays at 9pm ET/PT. "Drop Dead Diva" tells the story of a shallow model-in-training who dies in a sudden accident only to find her soul resurfacing in the body of a brilliant, plus-sized and recently deceased attorney. Brooke Elliott stars as Jane, and Margaret plays her gal Friday, Teri. Says Margaret, “It’s really funny, but it’s also touching. I think people are going to fall in love with Brooke and the character Jane and realize that beauty comes in all sizes. When you look at women in movies and TV, it’s an unrealistic view of what women really look like. With the show, we are promoting a real woman who is beautiful with real curves, has a real attitude and is fabulous.”
This fall, Margaret will also be touring as she works out a new stand-up show that features a healthy mix of new comedy and live music. She will be showcasing songs from her forthcoming comedy album, a release she is writing for with Patty Griffin, Jon Brion, and others. Cho’s workshop shows feature her trademark raunchy, socially relevant and politically-charged comedy, and also offer a unique chance to see her in an intimate setting as she develops a new show.
