Monday, August 31st, 2009Provincetown Shows: Important Update
Monday, August 31st, 2009Unfortunately, Margaret has not yet regained her voice, and is under doctor’s orders not to try to speak for another week. The new Provincetown shows will go on as planned, but will be a little different! Margaret will be performing burlesque, playing music and doing comedy throughout the show, but with a little help from her friends (and the text to speech function on her Mac), who will be acting as her voice. She tried this out at Largo a couple of weeks ago to a sold out audience, and we received an amazing amount of fan mail! This will be a show like you’ve never seen before; we promise you are in for a treat!
If you’re in PTown and want to see what all of the silent show fuss is about, get tickets here (Aug 31 – Sept 6): http://ptownvixen.com/
If the silent show doesn’t work for you, you can get refunds in advance by contacting the Vixen at 508-487-6424.
Some fan comments from Margaret’s silent show at Largo:
· Margaret I saw you on Thurs at Largo and without saying a word you are still and always one funny biotch! –Adele Uddo Glatis
· You were phenomenal last night. Even silent you are hilarious. I’m glad you did the show… but take care of yourself! – Sarah Taylor
· The show tonight was so much fun! The burlesque, skits, music and other stand up comics were awesome, and of course, your stand up was hilarious as always! I laughed so hard that I had to take my asthma inhaler when I got home – I’m not even joking. The Depeche Mode show I had tix for last Friday may have been cancelled due to laryngitis, but not yours. You made it work! Tim Gunn would be so proud.
Thank you for continuing to be so honest and REAL with relevant things to say (even when someone else does the talking for you- brilliant, BTW!) – N. Davis
· Your show was so clever tonight, even without your voice. Thanks for the wardrobe malfunction! Feel better! – Mel Sorianoing.
Margaret’s guests include:
Selene Luna (every night)
John Roberts (Mon – Thurs)
Ian Harvie (Mon – Fri, Sun)
Sara Benincasa (Sat)
Elon James White (Sat)
And more TBA!

Hyphen Magazine – Cover Story!
Thursday, August 20th, 2009Check out Margaret on the cover of Hyphen Magazine,’s action issue!
Margaret Cho Stands Up
Written by Dino-Ray Ramos / Photography by Ryan Schude
Monday, 17 August 2009
From her beginnings as a 16-year-old comedian and the star of the short-lived sitcom All-American Girl, Margaret Cho’s career has soared with such gut- busting comedy shows as “I’m the One That I Want” and stand-up concert tours like “Beautiful” (her fifth).
Her new music/stand-up album Guitarded (yes, she sings, too) will hit stores in 2010, and the Lifetime network just picked up her pilot Drop Dead Diva, a show about women’s relationships with their bodies. Clearly, Cho, this issue’s cover model, gets around — in a good way, of course.
While she makes us laugh as an award-winning Korean American comedian, her activism in the Asian American and gay communities is nothing to scoff at.
“For me, the main focus is repealing Proposition 8,” says Cho, a San Francisco native, says about the California law that forbids gay marriage. “The response to Proposition 8 has been really tremendous. I am thrilled that this movement has grown over the years. I am amazed to get as far as we have.”
Even so, Cho is aware that the ban on gay marriage still finds support among many Asian Americans. “Homophobia is very present within the Asian community, [though] it’s more with the older generation,” Cho says. “It’s really something that has to be fought.”
We had the chance to talk with Cho about activism, the progress of Asian Americans in media and how it doesn’t hurt to be self-righteous every now and then.
