Margaret Cho at St George's in Bristol on 28th November 2017
Posted on: 20 Oct 2017Five time Grammy & Emmy nominated US comedian Margaret Cho is coming to Bristol’s St George’s on Tuesday the 28th November.
Cho was recently named one of Rolling Stone magazine’s 50 Best Stand-Up Comics of All Time and is set to launch what is sure to be her sickest stand-up comedy show to date this autumn.
A pioneer amongst women in comedy, Margaret doesn’t take anything for granted as she continues to tackle difficult subjects with sensitivity and her razor-sharp insight with her takes on addiction, abuse, activism and Asian-ness. It's all about the politics of disgust and what is disgusting about politics.
Aptly titled, “Fresh Off The Bloat,” Margaret says,
“This is my sickest show to date. My grandmother said "You look like bloated as if you've been found dead in a lake after several days of searching." Koreans are the most savage of all the Asians. My new show is all about being fresh off drugs and drinking and suicide and coming back to life - finally fished out of the river Styx. It's meta. It's magical. It's me.”
Cho is extremely established and multi-talented in her career. Not only a comedian, but a TV personality and actress whom has starred in many a comedy/drama series, toured world-wide with the likes of Cyndi Lauper and Debbie Harry and is actively involved with numerous Human Rights Campaigns. She has been recognized for her unwavering dedication from multiple organizations across the USA notably from LA Pride, who gave Margaret a Lifetime Achievement Award for leaving a lasting imprint on the LGBT community.
Join Margaret Cho on her stand-up tour for some bold and daring, tell-it-how-it-is comedy.
