Margaret Cho: Campus Comedian
built 655 days ago
Still in her early twenties, Margaret hit the college circuit, where she immediately became the most booked act in the market and garnered a nomination for Campus Comedian of The Year. She performed more than 300 concerts within two years and subsequently won the American Comedy Award for Female Comedian in 1994. Arsenio Hall introduced her to late night audiences, Bob Hope put her on a prime time special and, seemingly overnight, Margaret Cho became a national celebrity.

Margaret continued performing to sold-out audiences across the country in comedy clubs, theaters, and on college campuses. She was ... a guest on every imaginable talk show (including Leno, Letterman, Rosie, Regis, and many others) and programs like Politically Incorrect, and NPR's Fresh Air, where intelligence, wit, and political savvy are required.

NEW YORK — By now, fans of comedian Margaret Cho know what to expect when they see her on stage. She’s foul-mouthed and unabashedly political. She does a very exaggerated impersonation of her traditional Korean mother.

She was ... a guest on every imaginable talk show (including Leno, Letterman, Rosie, Regis, and many others) and programs like "Politically Incorrect," and NPR's "Fresh Air," where intelligence, wit, and political savvy are required. Of her dozen films, John Woo's "Face/Off" with Nicolas Cage, and "Rugrats," where she was the voice of the detective, were probably the most seen.
