Marisa DiMattia: Margaret Cho on Burlesque, Beauty, and Body Art

I Margaret Cho. she's been my favorite comic for years, and she just keeps getting better.

I am SO SO SO looking forward to seeing her MCing the Dresden Dolls extravaganza's at the Roundhouse in November..

(quoth Amanda Palmer: "These Roundhouse shows are going to be FUCKING AMAZING and EPIC and we've just confirmed none other the incredibly hilarious and stunning comedienne Margaret Cho as mistress of ceremonies. The musical guests will be unrivaled. We're pulling in the entire european brigade.
Do not miss this show for the life of you. Fly, boat, skateboard, but GET there.")

Deeply, deeply in love with her.

Kick ass interview, M_DM. Two thumbs up and shit!

She was great at Miss Exotic World. I had half-expected her to just be doing a "celebrity guest host" spot, and when the regular host never stopped announcing people I figured her for a no-show. Then they introduced her and... yowza! She was great.

I love Margaret Cho. I used to love watching her on tv doing the Just for laughs comedy Festival in Montreal, it's over ten years ago now I guess since I've been lovin' her, when she did these awesome scathing impressions of her mother. I think it's rad that she's so deep into the tattoo'd lady scene now. I've never seen her perform at a comedy club though, has anyone here?

This is a great interview too Marisa.

Godess, I love this woman.
My mum and I saw her show last year and laughed til our faces hurt. She's just the raddest.

that was an awesome article!!
Go, Margeret, GO!!! we love you, girl!

OMG. How on earth did I miss this interview until now? I love MC w/ such a deep passion. I saw her live a couple of months ago and I literally laughed so hard that my stomach muscles hurt for a week. Not kidding.

Thanx for the article, my wife and I really dig Mrgaret Cho's stand up and would love to see her perform up here in Canada. I am also going to my local video store to request they stock her DVD.
Wow, not too many guys here with comments. I feel Special!

Love Margaret Cho - have seen her stand-up act several times in dallas. Would love to see the burlesque show. Love the tats on her. Saw La ink when she got the one from Kat.
The Cho Show rocked - laughed my ass off (I wish ;-)
