Margaret Cho is one of the most prolific and critically acclaimed comedians of our time. In the past eight years she's launched four sold-out national tours, turning each into a concert film. In 1999 her groundbreaking one-woman show, "I'm The One That I Want," became a best selling book and a concert film that grossed more per print than any film in history. 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 politically charged "State of Emergency" tour of the swing states of the 2004 Presidential election (hailed as "Murderously Funny!" by the New York Times), "Assassin" is her most political and topical work to date. This summer, Margaret hosted the 16 city True Colors Tour. Conceived by and starring Cyndi Lauper, a portion of all proceeds benefited the HRC. Other performers included Debbie Harry, Erasure, The Dresden Dolls, The Gossip, The Misshapes, & special guests Rufus Wainwright, The Cliks, Rosie O'Donnell & the Indigo Girls in select cities. A true entertainment pioneer, Cho is currently developing "The Sensuous Woman," a burlesque-style variety show starring Margaret and featuring an impressive line-up of the country's most renowned burlesque performers along with hilarious stand-up and sketch comedy from emerging artists. Featured performers include Princess Farhana, Ian Harvie, Selene Luna, Liam Sullivan as Kelly, Sir Ryan Heffington, Miss Dirty Martini, Diana Yanez and Kurt Hall.
