Margaret to be awarded the Morris Kight Lifetime Achievement Award

Tuesday, May 10th, 2011

At this year’s LA PRIDE Celebration, Christopher Street West will be presenting Margaret Cho with the 2011 Morris Kight Lifetime Achievement Award. “This is such a tremendous honor,” said Margaret. “I am so excited about this. This is my community, my home and I am very proud of how far we have come in our journey.”



From the organizers:

“What is a lifetime? Is it the length of time that you are on this earth? The amount of time you spend at work? The volume of experience that you gain? The scope of what you accomplish? Or is it all of them? Margaret Cho is a young 42 and still going strong. She has a volume of life experience, a catalogue of work that stands on its own and has accomplished more than others twice her age.”

We are excited to announce the world premiere of Margaret’s new concert film, “Cho Dependent,” at the Honolulu Rainbow Film Festival! Filmed during a live performance at the Tabernacle in Atlanta, Georgia, “Cho Dependent” features Margaret’s uncensored uproarious views on sex, drugs, and rock & roll. Margaret skewers the Palins, Dancing with the Stars, “sexting,” her beloved mother, online porn, and marijuana in a gut busting performance of all new stand up and comedy songs from her Grammy-nominated album, “Cho Dependent.”
