What's After the Movie
Margaret Cho
Margaret Moran Cho (born December 5, 1968) is an American stand-up comedian, actress, musician and activist. She is known for her stand-up routines, which critique social and political problems, especially issues of race and sexuality. Boasting a rich career since her burst into the scene with the ABC sitcom All-American Girl in the ‘90s, Cho is lauded for her ability to push boundaries. She has dived into various realms, from movies like It’s My Party and Face/Off to TV series like Drop Dead Diva. Her portrayal of Kim Jong-il on 30 Rock earned her a Primetime Emmy Award nomination. In 2022, Cho co-starred in the film Fire Island, depicting the LGBT Asian American experience. Cho also ventured into fashion and music, launching her own clothing line while staunchly supporting LGBT rights and winning awards for her contributions to women, Asian Americans, and the LGBT community. Born in San Francisco, she has a fascinating upbringing in a racially diverse neighborhood, being part of a Korean family with a strong Christian religious background and a unique narrative connected to the historical events of Korea. This rich tapestry of experiences informs her comedic style, combining observational comedy, blue comedy, surreal humour, and satire to address topics as varied as American politics, Asian American culture, pop culture, and human sexuality. Her advocacy for LGBT issues and critique of political and social issues are significant aspects of her material.
