Welcome, Margaret Cho!
Of all the standup comedy veterans out there making the rounds from stage to stage, Margaret Cho has always been one of my favorites.
I’ve seen several of her comedy routines, I watched her groundbreaking TV show All-American Girl that was the first (and still is the only) U.S. TV series to feature an Asian-American family, and I’ve caught her in additional guest-star roles in both movies and on television.
Heck, Cho even wrote a best-selling book, namely the 2002 autobiography I’m the One That I Want, which was based on her one-woman comedy concert of the same name. And, that’s not to mention The Cho Show, her forthcoming new reality series on VH1. When does she find the time to relax?
If you share my appreciation for Cho’s unique brand of ethnic slash family slash social-commentary humor, then you, like me, will be thrilled when she arrives in Boston for her Saturday-night gig at Orpheum Theatre (1 Hamilton Place, Boston, 617-679-0810).
The name of her current concert tour is Beautiful because, as she noted during a talk-show interview with Ellen DeGeneres on March 20, it’s about how “we’re all really beautiful.” I agree … except for the hardcore criminals in jail and the sleazy politicians in office and whatnot.
Joining Cho on Saturday are her fellow talented stand-up comics Kelly and Liam Sullivan. Together, they plan to rock the crowd with a diverse show that incorporates music and video, in addition to good old-fashioned humor.
The entire experience starts at 7:30pm, with tickets presently priced at $28.50 and $48.50. I guess it’s also fairly clear that Cho’s act is well above R-rated. That means leave the kids and prudes at home or with a sitter. [More Information]
As a bonus, you can check out Cho’s previously mentioned interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show after the jump. And, if you visit her personal website, you’ll find details about how to contribute to her charity auctions benefiting the Gay and Lesbian Leadership Institute, as well.
