Margaret Cho - Korean Kabuki Meets Bette Midler Meets ... ?
Memory is a funny thing - I recall being apoplectic with laughter (chocking, actually) when I first saw Margaret Cho.
So of course I was excited when the thought of posting her came to me today ... and was anticipating lots and lots and lots of fun choosing the video. So many to choose from ... so little space on Blogger.
But :< - or in the inimitable Margaret Cho face ...
... not really killing, at all!
But having said all this, she is still pretty great, considering the 'opposition' in the comedy industry. And it's really the totality of the Margaret Cho personna that's the point rather than the specifics of any particular performance.
And so from what seems the best on offer:
On a recent interview in US TV, Margaret Cho said that these days she's preferring sex with women, adding:
So the gay jokes here are very fine, very - you know what I mean!

ReplyDeleteReddecatur
truth be known, think she's my all-time fav comedian - by far
ReplyDeletehave a great xmas and hol - 'see' you in 2009!
nick
so you think margaret cho is funny? i find her type of humor insulting and degrading to athnic groups... what if it were a white comedian doing her exact humor? it would not sit well... what if a straight comedian did funny gay humor?
ReplyDeleteI hardly ever get to see any of her performances, but I still love that woman anyway. She's awesome!
ReplyDeletehey anon
ReplyDeletei think that if you are within a group (as opposed to humour from outside the group - you mention straight people doing gay jokes) it can be healthy self examination and refreshing and modest self deprecation.
i have a handicapped friend who makes outrageous fun of her 'disability' (her term) but i wouldn't be censuring her - it's her way of confronting her difficulties and challenges - but i wouldn't condone anyone makes her comments about her
any humour what-so-ever from without a group is usually 'degrading' (your term) - this is where the problem arises
take care
nick
hey greg
ReplyDeleteyep she is - and thank god for film, video and YouTube so we can see her without having to wait for her to come to town - or go to the town where she's on!
hey again anon
ReplyDeletedo you listen to the clip carefully? margaret says at a number of points 'i love gay men'. and (as she says in the TV interview i mentioned) she identifies as bisexual
so this is not someone outside group discriminating but someone within making healthy comment and fun.
please try to think about it again
take care and thanks for your comment
