Get your eardrums ready for thunderous laughters as Margaret Cho, dubbed by New York Times as one of the funniest comedians in America, goes back to Australia for a national tour this September.
Margaret will be cracking her rib-tickling, knee-slapping punchliners in Perth, Brisbane and Melbourne and will have a special performance in Sydney for the Just For Laughs festival.
Being an Agent Provocateur of stand up, Margaret is never one to shy away from a taboo topic. There are literally no subjects off limits for her. Her socially aware, no-holds-barred brand of comedy has made her both a thought leader and a tolerant teacher to those with open minds and open hearts.
A multi-media performer, Margaret has conquered the worlds of film, television, books, music and theatre. Having been nominated for three Grammy Awards and one Emmy Award, her comedy tours are a constant sell-out around the world.
The film and DVD releases of Margaret’s comedy shows are record-breaking with I’m The One That I Want still holding the title for Most Money Grossed Per Print for an independent film. Margaret has also made a permanent mark in television including six seasons of Drop Dead Diva. Margaret is a special guest host on E’s Fashion Police this year, covering the 2016 Award Shoes and is also currently developing Highland, an hour long dramedy for Amazon about a woman who, after completing a court-ordered rehab, gets a chance to start over by moving in with her (dysfunctional) family who runs a pot dispensary.
With her artistic life brimming with success, Margaret has never turned away from her advocacies. She is incredibly active in anti-racism, anti-bullying, advocating for the homeless and gay rights campaigns. From her activism to her music to her stand up, Margaret is honest, forthright, passionate, uproarious, raucous, bold and unyielding: Margaret Cho is at her very best.
Through her hard work, Margaret has had the opportunity to be heard, to extend her point of view and become regarded as a trailblazer in her field. She takes none of it for granted. “It’s a wonderful thing to be known as a ‘safe haven’ for people. People come to see me, or buy my records and/or DVDs because my point of view satisfies a lot of what needs to be said out there. More than anything, that makes me really proud”.
